Malone paid <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/video\/john-malone-buys-formula-one-for-44-billion\/3AB3908F-5ABB-4E9C-834D-4C2A5651A3B3.html\">US$4.4 billion for a 35% stake<\/a>, with the remaining interest held by race teams.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->\u00a0One of the new owner\u2019s first tasks is to modernise the sport.<\/p>\n<p>To a certain extent, such matters take care of themselves in motor racing. Innovation is constant as different teams compete to take advantage of new rules, aerodynamics, materials and techniques. Formula One is regularly dominated by manufacturers that take their latest cars as close to the margin as possible in terms of performance.<\/p>\n<p>But there are two other ways in which the competition needs an upgrade. First, it has an ageing audience, in part due to the previous regime\u2019s distaste for marketing the sport to youth. TV ratings are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/video\/john-malone-buys-formula-one-for-44-billion\/3AB3908F-5ABB-4E9C-834D-4C2A5651A3B3.html\">down everywhere other than the US<\/a>, which is showing renewed interest.<\/p>\n<p>Second, its environmental status remains a problem. In the words of one academic overview of sustainability in sports, motor racing faces \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/sproc.org\/archives\/index.php\/paas\/article\/viewArticle\/3296\">increasing pressure<\/a> to reduce resource consumption and to operate in an environmentally sustainable manner\u201d. This is hardly a surprise, but in my research on \u201cgreenwashed sports\u201d I found some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/17524032.2015.1127850?journalCode=renc20\">evidence supporting both sides<\/a> of the debate about race cars and carbon footprints.<\/p>\n<p>Formula One is heavily reliant on fossil fuels to build the cars and the circuits, while a race causes lots of local pollution and involves a \u201cmajor transformation of the landscape <a href=\"http:\/\/jss.sagepub.com\/content\/33\/2\/150.short\">wherever it is held<\/a>\u201d. Back in 2007, each race car emitted around 1.5kg of CO\u2082 for every kilometre it drove, about nine times that of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2009\/may\/14\/formula-1-greenwash\">a family car<\/a> (more recent data is hard to find). You might expect fast cars to burn lots of fuel of course, and these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mclaren.com\/formula1\/inside-the-mtc\/formula-one-teams-drive-carbon-reduction-1\/\">emissions have been reduced<\/a> in the years since.<\/p>\n<p>But the racing itself is responsible for just 0.3% of the sport\u2019s carbon emissions, which mostly derive from raw materials, manufacturing, and electricity usage, especially via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sustainable-business\/innovation-formula-one-sustainable-technology\">wind tunnels<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/10456984\">computing<\/a>.
