Technical Electric F1?

A lot of the domestic hot water in Turkey comes from metal barrels on roofs heated by the sun.
There are parts of Turkey which barely see a cloud, never mind rain so they could easily adopt solar power.

I used to go to the swimming baths in Portishead it was an out side pool and the water was heated by the cooling towers from a nearby power station. and this was bloody years ago

IMO its the future, so we can cry about it or embrace it. If we don't embrace it it'll happen anyway without us ...

Well Mclaren look like they're going to embrace it by sounds of things

and where Mclaren tread Ferrari usually follow. If it is going to survive as a series then I hope it gets a decent set of drivers and doesn't just become a dumping ground for F1 old boys and F1 nearly men. It won't survive as a series to watch if its just Ralf Schumacher, Villeneurve, Parfeet and Di Grassi in the teams
