Will Formula 1 "Go Electric" (Remove Engines) before 2050?

Question

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.

Battery Electric -> Resolves positive 
Hydrogen Fuelcell -> Resolves positive 
Hydrogen engine -> Resolves negative 
Biofuel/Efuel into an engine -> Resolves negative
