As we seemingly accelerate towards a world without the combustion engine - where does that leave motorsport? In particular, in and around the pinnacle of tech and performance that is Formula One. I compare and contrast F1 and Formula E with those truly in the know.
My opening question is to Hywel Thomas -
Managing Director, Mercedes AMG HPP
'It's 2031 - can I still go and watch a Formula 1 race - and will Lewis Hamilton still be racing?
We then hear from:-
Mark Preston - Team Principal, Techeetah Formula E Racing Team
Pierre Godof - Chief Engineer, Formula E Powertrain Mercedes Benz HPP
Ian James - Team Principal, Mercedes EQ Formula E Team
Geoffrey Willis Willis - Director of Commercial Engineering, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team
Paddy Lowe - Co-Founder & Director, Zero Petroleum
