Strategic challenge: close teamwork with the data engineers is vital for Formula E drivers. when you’re fighting another driver it’s better to save energy until your opponent hasn’t got much energy left. Or the other way around – when you’re defending you need to drive smart so that the guy can’t overtake you. That’s why I say it’s like playing chess at 200 kph. We have a clear goal before the race, but we have to adapt fast while we’re racing – depending on hether we’re in a good or bad posion, or how the pit stop worked out for us. You never become perfect at that, you’re just learning all always the time. Because it’s game theory. It depends on what the other drivers are doing. It’s totally fascinating. 5 The fans We race close to the spectators. That’s a great way of demonstrating the advantages of e-mobility directly to the crowd. We take Formula E to the fans, they don’t have to drive a couple of hours to get to the racing track. The fans are really excited about the new technology. We organize some events with them ahead of the race, such as driving with them in the simulator or saying hello during the driver parade. That’s exciting. And I guess it’s why people like Leonardo Di Caprio, Bar Refaeli and Adrien Brody come to the races.
