## Summary

Fortescue founder Andrew Forrest says Formula One belongs in a museum, arguing that electric racing is the more technically advanced and environmentally friendly future. At the launch of his new Formula E team, he challenged F1 to race head-to-head against Formula E to compare their performance.

Fortescue Zero Racing, formed after buying Penske Autosport, is the first Australian-owned Formula E team. Its Gen4 car for the 2026/27 season is projected to reach 100 km/h in 1.8 seconds and 200 km/h in 4.2 seconds; Formula E says this is about 30 per cent faster than an F1 car. F1 began in 1950, while Formula E started in 2014; F1 says it has cut its carbon footprint by 35 per cent since 2018 and remains on track for net-zero carbon by 2030.
