If they did a car share Alonso could drive while Hamilton worked out the amount carbon emissions to offset.

Alternatively they could do a 'blue motion' style F1 car, with improved aerodynamics (all those wings to increase downforce also increase fuel consumption). They could also optimise the gearing for economy rather than speed.

I've often thought that if they drove more smoothly they would improve their economy. Late braking and full throttle acceleration just isn't necessary. More haste less speed I say.
