From lab to F1 track: the science behind Scuderia Ferrari’s sustainable race fuel

In this bonus episode of The Energy Podcast, host Eddie is joined by Valeria Loreti, Principal Scientist and Delivery Manager in Motorsports at Shell, to explore the future of sustainable racing fuels for Formula 1 team Scuderia Ferrari HP.

Starting in 2026, all Formula 1 cars will need to run on fuel made from advanced sustainable components – including advanced biofuels derived from non-food biomass or household waste, and renewable fuels of non-biological origin – as part of the sport’s plan to reach net-zero emissions by 2030. A key member of the Shell team developing Scuderia Ferrari HP’s bespoke fuel for 2026, Valeria shares exclusive insights into the science and cutting-edge tools behind fuel development, what happens trackside on an F1 race weekend, and the 75 years of partnership with Ferrari – one of the most iconic collaborations in motorsport.

Whether you're a motorsports fan, a tech enthusiast, or curious about the future of racing, this episode is for you.
