This weekend you can watch the ultimate example of a hybrid car - Formula 1. The fastest cars in the world. F1 cars are hybrids. They’ve been hybrid for nearly a decade, and not only did it make them much more fuel efficient (F1 cars now never refuel in a race), it also made them hugely more powerful. Before they were hybrid, they had about 850 horsepower. The hybrids are over 1000 hp. I chuckle when people think hybrids are granny cars, good only for saving fuel. They’re the ultimate performance car.
