F1, FIA and Extreme H reveal plans for hydrogen working group
The parties involved, including Formula 1, the FIA, and Extreme H, will assess the potential uses of hydrogen technology in motorsport, with a specific focus on enhancing the sustainability of transportation and infrastructure. The working group consists of representatives from each organization, such as Pat Symonds (F1), Nikolas Tombazis (FIA), and Mark Grain (Extreme H). The collaboration aims to explore various aspects of hydrogen propulsion that the Extreme H series will incorporate. While hydrogen fuel cells may generate excess heat and require larger radiators, Symonds believes they are still a viable option for racing engines, albeit with potential competition from sustainable biofuels and e-fuels. The FIA’s technical expertise and knowledge in hydrogen technology, along with their experience in motorsport, will contribute to the collaboration and benefit the sport and mobility as a whole. The introduction of a hydrogen-powered prototype class in the Le Mans and World Endurance Championship will be postponed until 2027.
