CEO of Formula E Holdings LTD Alejandro Agag confirmed one again that the series would love to have Ferrari compete in it at a certain moment in the future. The series already had a lot of connections to Formula 1 when it was formed, with Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg all entering teams.
That became the case even more so recently when it was announced that McLaren will be competing in the series from 2022 onwards.
With the British outfit on board, there is now room for just two more teams to join the grid, with 12 being the maximum number allowed.
While both independent ones and manufacturers are welcome, Agag admits that he’d love to welcome Ferrari, and with the Italian company building an electric supercar for the first time, thinks it’s possible.
“Well, of course, I would love to have Ferrari. You have seen the news lately that Ferrari is going to do an electric Ferrari.” – Extreme E founder Alejandro Agag explained, as reported by planetf1.com.
The recent news that McLaren has decided to join was an important moment for the sport – with McLaren now becoming the first Formula 1 team to make such a leap – especially given that many expected them to compete in Formula E instead.
In fact, Alejandro Agag feels it was the biggest moment in the series thus far: “The news is the biggest in the short history of Extreme E,” he added – “I want to welcome McLaren, I want to welcome Zak [Brown] – well he is already in the championship – but yeah, we will have some more surprises, maybe for season two. We will wait because this news is big enough to give us the momentum. Extreme E, this championship is growing all the time, to be so young and have, already, McLaren in the championship is amazing so hopefully, we will have some surprises soon.” – the CEO of Formula E Holdings LTD concluded.
