In this regard, it is hilarious to imagine that Formula 1 has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, in other words... that they promise to drastically reduce their carbon pollution and remove any remaining residue from the atmosphere.
Not even "Formula E" is capable of this, since it has already been proven that the process for manufacturing batteries is as polluting, if not more so, than a combustion engine in its entire lifespan.
Anyway, I believe that this is just a way for them to try to show themselves to be more "aware" of the environmental problems of today's world and thus obtain subsidies and more sponsors without anyone continuing to criticize their actions. Just as happens in many countries, F1 will continue to burn fossil fuels and will have to offset carbon emissions by planting trees or financing environmental projects in institutions that can offset their environmental losses.
Money generating more money and attracting media attention... nothing new
They do not really consider battery resources as polluting when they are calculating, that's why. They consider how much they are polluting while racing, that's it, and they say they are going to be net negative when they are racing eventually, which we all know won't happen because of mining, but they will only consider the races, well of course practice and qualifying too, but not the battery manufacturing.
That is something that needs to be change all together in the world, not just for formula, but MANY people are buying electric cars thinking they are doing a good thing for the world and climate, while not really helping with anything, this needs to be a bigger issue and let everyone know how much it hurts the world to build one electric vehicle.
In the end, its still better way forward because if they can make the batteries out of something more renewable or sustainable that doesn't hurt the world, then the whole problem goes away, combustion engines do not have that potential.
