With the growing emphasis on so-called Green Technologies, it was inevitable that a team would appear using various hybrid technologies and with enough financial backing to buy the boatload of carbon offsets that a Formula One team would need to be 'carbon neutral' (especially with composite carbon fibre construction!).
Verdigris Eco Racing
From the rough and tumble world of Baja Rally Racing comes American Ethan Awl (who reminds people it is "ETH-AN" not "EETH-AN"). Ethan has a lot of experience off road and may find that useful from time to time in his F1 career. Canadian Lawrence Eric Trick (goes by Eric or "El Eric Trick") is a former CASCAR driver with a penchant for touch-and-go racing. Their backup is an Israeli - Soloman Raavi Charger (Sol R. Charger) - known for his brilliant performances in several solar challenge races. The cars themselves are special hybrids that the engineering committee has only permitted due to prodigious amounts of purchasing of 'alcohol offsets'. They are expected to race (in their inevitably green clad cars) to a neutral result, preserving the planet in the process!
