According to Jalopnik, some Formula 1 constructors are looking at hybrid technology for future F1 cars.
I sorta doubt this means you'll see an advertiser-adorned Toyota Prius competing in the streets of Monaco. Instead, I would expect some manner of braking-energy capture which power a "burst of speed" electric motor, giving the car a very short blast of power for passing or somesuch.
Regardless, this is a significant sign that hybrid technology is, in fact, ready for prime time.

It's not just hybrid technology that's ready for primetime... Electric Car technology is too.
Even GM's EV-1 was an immensely succesful and powerful vehicle. Unfortunately, I predict that this is another area - like hybrids - where American automakers will once again be proven shortsighted.
