According to Alejandro Agag, the CEO of Formula E, winning both the Formula 1 and Formula E championships is now a requirement for drivers who aspire to be counted among motorsport’s all-time greats. Agag, the founding CEO of Formula E, has consistently positioned the electric racing series as a competitor to Formula 1, envisioning a future where Formula E replaces it as the pinnacle of motor racing.
In an interview with ESPN in 2018, Agag expressed his belief in the future success of Formula E, stating, “I think Formula E is going to get really, really big… We will be probably the main motorsport because the world will be electric.” As Formula E secured FIA World Championship status ahead of its seventh season, Agag now asserts that winning an F1 World title alone is insufficient for drivers to be considered great—they must also secure a Formula E crown.
