What's the issue with being carbon neutral?
Because it's more of a buzzword than a goal. Carbon neutral, in theory, means a company reduces their carbon output where they can and then reimburse the rest of the carbon they can't reduce. In practice it means a company can literally do nothing to reduce their emissions, pay someone else to offset the carbon they refuse to reduce and then claim "we're carbon neutral" while polluting with the same rate as they were before. Carbon neutral simply does not go far enough.
In this case it's not "carbon neutral" as in carbon neutral if you subtract the credit that a carbon offset company gave us for using our giant pile of money to bribe someone not to burn down a bit of rainforest on the far side of the world. It'll be genuinely carbon neutral. Unlike the rest of us, F1 can afford to use the finest pure synthetic fuel made from organic hand-picked potatoes with energy from 100% green electrons.
It may be only a small gesture compared to the vast enterprise of shipping so many tons of equipment and people all around the world, but it's sort of cool nonetheless.
You're mixing up carbon neutral fuels and carbon neutral companies. Your argument holds good for the second.
