Lucas Di Grassi: “Vettel and Hamilton would struggle to compete in Formula E”
For the Brazilian, the Ferrari and Mercedes drivers would have difficulty trying their hand in a series other than F1
After the words certainly not to honey on the part of Bernie Ecclestone at Formula E, now it was the turn of a driver from the electric championship, specifically Lucas Di Grassi, to challenge two illustrious former colleagues named Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.
According to the current Audi driver, as well as leader of the young motor category created by the FIA, the German from Ferrari and the Englishman from Mercedes (currently the most successful drivers in F1, with four and three titles under their belt respectively) would struggle to immerse yourself in a new reality, completely different from the premier class of motorsport.
"They would definitely have a hard time in Formula E. They are fantastic drivers – declared the Brazilian driver of Italian origins to CNN – sThey are the most talented riders of our generation but they wouldn't have an easy life in our category. They should learn well the circuit layouts which are completely new and exclusively city-based. I'd like to invite them to see an e-Prix and find out their feelings about it".
