Any opinions about moving the next generation of F1 engines to the alternative fuel, Compressed Natural Gas?
I ask if this method is feasible to get safe refueling back, while using this as a means to require multiple pit stops, regardress of tyre life.
The idea would be that the car would have 2 cylindrical openings in a V shape right behind the roll hoop that would hold twist- lock CNG canisters.
The size of these could be adjusted to be sure that 2 changes per race would be necessary.
Would any of you Mathmetizers care to share your thoughts on feasibility? I don't know the energy densities of the comparative fuels to calculate the approximate size of the tanks.
Obviously, this is a dumb question if it would take a tanker truck worth of CNG to finish a race... So your educated input is much appreciated!
