The spirit of this market is to see if by 2050, all Formula 1 contenders have removed Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) from their car.

It would not require a rule, but it would require that all contenders are free from ICE.

I think a lot of people dont know that Formula E has exclusive rights from FIA to electric open-wheel racing. One of the source examples: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-would-need-permission-to-go-fully-electric-formula-es-agag-5293944/5293944/

predicts NO

I think if they did go electric they would probably change the name to something like Formula-E or similar. How would you handle a situation like that ?

@Odoacre There already is a formula-e, so I'd be suprised if they took this route.

If they changed their name, but they were clearly the same entity and didn't fork into different organisations, I would resolve as if it was still named Formula-1.

If they disband, and formula-e becomes the dominant race, I will resolve ambigious.

predicts NO

@ElliotDavies If they disband before going electric, why not NO ?

@Odoacre You're right! It should resolve no in that case.
