Speaking on talkSPORT’s On Track, Agag stated, “I think we’ve put it in a place where if you really want to call yourself the best driver in the world, you really need to win Formula 1 and Formula E.” Consequently, Agag has attempted to persuade four-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel to join Formula E.
Vettel retired from Formula 1 at the end of the previous season, and Agag revealed that he has had informal discussions with the German driver. “I’ve tried to convince Sebastian to come to Formula E,” Agag disclosed. “He’s very committed to sustainability, he’s very committed to many of the values we share.” However, Agag acknowledged that Vettel already has future plans in place and Formula E was not in the right position at the right time to secure his involvement.
