The Formula E CEO admitted that he cannot watch a Formula 1 race all the way to the finish. It is a personal opinion, voiced while comparing two championships that offer very different experiences to their audiences.
Formula E focuses on shorter races and city-centre action, with electric single-seaters and strategies shaped by energy management. F1 remains the global motorsport benchmark for popularity, technology and international reach: the executive’s comments do not change that picture, but they revive the debate about on-track entertainment.
