    Since they announced FE I’ve been counting the years. It’ll be inevitable.

    However I’m still not sure how it’ll happen. Sure eventually FE will over take F1 in viewers, money, and prestige. But will F2 and F3 switch to electric? Will there be different lower tier F2e and F3e. Will F1 last another 50 years or more? Or will F1 go electric and FE discontinue as a brand?

      Let’s be honest, F1 is antiquated now. It’s living off of nostalgia. It doesn’t even really innovate any more. Certainly not things that couldn’t be applied in FE. I get that fans want to hear engines roar, but I think they’ll quickly get used to hearing engines whirl. Big Oil can’t stave off the electric revolution for too much longer.

      But now you’ve made me think of it, perhaps F2 will be hybrids and and F3 full ICE

        Not to mention: a multiclass exhibition event (or series?) with FE + F1 might be pretty cool to see - especially as a way to make it clear to fans that ICE is actually the slower class nowadays.

        Also, my inner child would LOVE it if they rebranded FE to FZero 🤩
