Racing drivers and people from other racing championships told us this about Formula E...

AMNA AL QUBAISI
First Emirati International Female driver:
"Driving a Formula E car is a whole new world, it was very different. I realized that there was no paddle shifts. I was looking for them when I first got into the car (laugh). There's no vibrations, and the car itself has a lot of torque. It's a very fast car, especially on acceleration. It's like karting in a way, but bigger."

ARTHUR LECLERC
2021 Formula Regional Asia Champion, Prema Formula 3 driver:
„It's a completely different world. Formula E doesn't have a lot of days on track, and you cannot drive on the tracks before the race weekend, so they do a lot of simulator work. There is a lot of things going into how to recover the battery when racing.It is a real push in technology, you have to simulate everything virtually to make a fastest car in reality.“

Romain Grosjean
2020 Haas F1 Driver, during 2018 Formula 1 preseason:
„Formula E is doing a fantastic job and, honestly, I am surprised by their success. I think that this is an excellent competition for those who don't know much about motorsports, so they can see what is happening in big city centers. Maybe through that love they start watching Formula 1. We are still not at the same level when it comes to technology and performance.“

KEVIN MAGNUSSEN
2020 Haas F1 Driver, during 2018 Formula 1 preseason:
„Formula E is growing and it has become a serious championship, a lot different than Formula 1 and I hope that they will continue to go along different roads and that we don't get more electrics in Formula 1.“

CARLOS SAINZ JR.
2020 McLaren F1 Driver, during 2018 Formula 1 preseason:
"It is quite a cool championship and I think it’s heading in a positive direction. It is popular amongst fans, the racing seems to be quite good too. It’s fresh and has a bit of stability for the future."
