Formula One hybrid racing coming in 2010
The German car magazine Auto, Motor and Sports reports Formula One racing will use hybrid cars by 2010. It seems FIA boss Max Mosley finally got a deal for the greener races. A lot of technology that we see in cars today was developed on the race track, and we can only imagine what this new F1 style might bring. The addition of hybrid technology to Formula One racing is further validation of the technology. We know that some of the fastest cars in the world are electric cars, so maybe it's just time for F1 to catch up.

formula 1 will not be playing catchup in any way, the system that F1 cars will be using does not operate like any hybird car currently in production. it in no way validates the inelegant and inefficient technology that most hybird cars use.

Most hybrids cut the engine off when you come to a stop. The only time F1 cars stop is in the pits. This doesnt make sense to me if they plan to use a "traditional" hybrid system.
