Alejandro Agag invites Ferrari to consider Formula E, but adds that “so far I heard nothing from them”. Alejandro Agag invites Ferrari to consider Formula E.

Spanish businessman and Formula E chief Alejandro Agag admitted that the possibility of “a cooperation” between the electric series and Formula 1 could happen in the future.

Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone recently warned that the city-based Formula E series could pose a threat to Formula One: “If the head decides and not the heart, I would choose Formula E,” Bernie Ecclestone is quoted as saying by the Blick newspaper – “There are many more opportunities for expansion and more commercial opportunities,” he added.

Alejandro Agag, the Formula E founder and boss, said he spoke to the 88-year-old the day after he made the comments: “I think F1 has nothing to worry about Formula E,” he told tuttomotoriweb.com – “There will never be a clash between us, we are compatible. Maybe a cooperation in the future, why not?” – the former Formula 1 chief explained.

Former F1 driver Jerome d’Ambrosio, now the Formula E championship leader, said he predicts that even Scuderia Ferrari will consider the series “at a certain point”: “I think in 10-15-20 years cars will all be electric.” – he admitted. But for now Alejandro Agag played down the suggestions that the Maranello team will soon consider Formula E: “I’ve invited them, but so far there is no news on that side. I heard nothing from them, not even an interest.”

However, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen hopes F1 will resist the lure of electric power for some time. Asked what the grid will look like for the 2000th grand prix in decades to come, the Dutchman answered: “Hopefully not electric.”
