Powerwise, one of the characteristics of an electric engine is that it delivers full torque from one RPM, so the acceleration is very impressive.
I've always had a very big interest in electric cars and new technology.
As in the past, racing has always proven to be a racing laboratory development centre for new technologies to be developed for general use in cars.
So I think definitely this series is going to only accelerate this and will not just accelerate the development but also the interest of people in electric cars.
Then this technology may be transferred to our low cost. Maybe in the future you don't need to charge it.
You're driving while charging, you don't need batteries, you just need some backup batteries.
The rest is already an electric road actually. I've seen a movie like 10 years ago but now it's getting there.
Right now, everyone is trying to protect themselves.
It's getting worse and worse.
I think there should be a lot of impact.
Because now the government is not talking about the green and yellow protection concept.
If you buy a car now and you don't need a car, then you can go to the market.
I think there will be a lot of impact in the future.
I should be grateful for this.
The most exciting thing about this all new FIA Formula E car is that it's completely different from anything else that I've ever raced before.
First of all, electric, electric power, zero emission.
Second, I think the whole concept of the car is very different. For me as a driver, feeling wise the tires are a much larger diameter than we normally use on a Formula car.
I think one of the attractive points about Formula E is that they're racing inside city centers of major cities all around the world.
I think Beijing being the kickoff, being the inaugural race is probably one of the best choice they could have made.
I think the location here at the Olympic Park is so iconic.
So to have this race, to have a car race here at the Olympic Park, to be honest I think it has only been possible because it's a series with no emission.
