Max Verstappen put Formula E in the spotlight earlier this year. Now the motorsport series CEO would love to get genuine feedback from the four-time F1 champion.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds expressed his desire for Max Verstappen to test and provide feedback on the series’ new Gen4 car privately. Verstappen’s comparison of Formula 1’s latest machinery to “Formula E on steroids” during pre-season testing in Bahrain garnered attention and criticism. Despite ongoing speculation about Verstappen potentially leaving F1, including comments from his father Jos and FIA president Ben Sulayem, doubts remain. Dodds believes Verstappen could offer valuable insights on the Gen4 car’s performance, given its faster acceleration and lap times approaching F1 levels. The potential for Verstappen to experience the all-electric car’s unique characteristics firsthand intrigues Dodds, highlighting the growing crossover between Formula E and F1 in terms of driver involvement.
