However, F1 is a particularly high-damage series and flying a personal jet (as many drivers do) is considerably worse.

Further to this I read today that TAG Group (the owner/operator of Hamilton's jet) are fully carbon-neutral. I then looked to see if Mercedes F1 were but couldn't find an answer. However, given that several other F1 teams already are I wouldn't be surprised.

Still, as you say, Hamilton still leads a pretty carbon-hungry lifestyle.

Yes, but there are no passengers on Starship Earth, only crew. Or something.

The side conversation about Hamilton's carbon contribution is mostly on the back of him going vegan to save on cow farts, at least according to his twittergrams.
