We won’t see the Frecce Tricolori or Red Arrows flying over the tracks during pre-race displays
because they pollute the air.

Beginning in 2022,
the Grand Prix organisers will no longer be able to use military aircraft for air displays
before the start of the races because they pollute
and they are no longer in line with the CO2 emissions reduction objectives of F1
which aims to eliminate the environmental impact by 2030.

As reported by the Corriere della Sera on Jan. 19, 2022,
local organizers of Grand Prix races all around the world were informed of the ban.

While military aircraft will not be able to take part in GP opening flyovers to support the sustainability goals of F1 organizers,
civilian wide-bodies, that have often taken part in pre-race displays in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi,
as well as some historical aircraft remain permitted,
under certain (yet unclear) conditions.

For this reason, some believe the cause for the ban might not be related to environmental concerns
but prompted by the will of F1 to avoid that the airshows can be considered as “shows of force”
and exploited by some countries to flex muscle and fuel propaganda.

gaat het verder.

Hoe lang nog, voordat er alleen nog maar elektro-karretjes over het asfalt rijden?

Red Bull kan altijd nog z'n eigen " airforce" inzetten.....

Ja, civiel mag nog wel, maar voor de Red Arrows wordt natuurlijk weer een uitzondering gemaakt, want:

Furthermore, it is understood that 'traditional' displays by the likes of the Red Arrows, a mainstay of the British Grand Prix for as long as anyone can remember, will continue.

"The Red Arrows have played a significant part in entertaining motorsport fans since they first performed at the British Grand Prix in 1966," said Silverstone boss, Stuart Pringle, according to Reuters, "and I am pleased to say that Formula One has confirmed this much-loved tradition can continue at Silverstone in 2022.

"The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, are not classed as military aviation and, as such, do not fall into the category of those displays that will no longer be permitted at Formula One events."

De FIA wil alleen af van die rookslierten die de demoteams gebruiken, maar de UK (waar de meeste teams zitten) en de Saudi- en Dubai GP's (waar het meeste geld vandaan komt) mogen gewoon doorgaan...
