A question I am repeatedly asked is whether hydrogen could be a suitable fuel for Formula 1. At Le Mans there are several projects aimed at using hydrogen so it cannot be ruled out but, in my opinion, it is not a logical option.
Hydrogen, although abundant, does not naturally occur in its raw state. Processing compounds to split out the hydrogen requires energy and therefore, like synthetic gasoline, hydrogen is actually an energy carrier rather than a raw fuel.
