Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds has pledged a $250,000 donation to charity if a driver other than Max Verstappen wins the 2024 Formula 1 world championship. Dodds expressed his belief that Verstappen will easily clinch the title this year, making Formula E more unpredictable with three different winners from the first three races. He emphasized that the F1 championship seems like a foregone conclusion, contrasting it with the exciting unpredictability of Formula E races. Despite foreseeing another dominant season for Verstappen, Dodds remains committed to watching F1 and expressed excitement for the upcoming Formula E race in Sao Paulo. The previous Formula E season saw seven different winners from six teams, showcasing the series’ competitiveness compared to F1. In the 2020-21 campaign, Formula E had a record 11 different race winners, highlighting the diverse competition in the electric racing series. Meanwhile, Verstappen dominated F1 last year, with 19 wins out of 22 races, only missing out on a clean sweep due to Carlos Sainz’s victory at the Singapore Grand Prix.
