My favourite track so far is Paris, not only because I scored my first podium there, but also because I think Paris is one of the nicest cities in the world.

Hi Cristian, I think it is because the idea of the series is to run in city centres, and show electric cars on routes where we will most need electric road cars. Formula E is not only a sporting series – it’s also a way to show people that the future is already in our hands.

Hi! First of all karting is the way to go for sure. Kids can develop their racing skills and many other things very early on whilst running in karts. My dad used to put tyres on the circuit when I was a little kid to show me the racing lines.

What motivates me before the start of the race is usually to listen to some music in a quiet place.

I think that one of the things that I would say to young people is that first of all never give up. There will be always hard times in racing, but they will make you stronger. Also, just try to enjoy what you are doing as much as you can!

Front-wheel drive cars are always very technical, and have a particular way of driving them, like every racing car. The most important thing is to always try to brake as straight as you can, so that you don’t put too much load on the front axle. Then, for sure get on the throttle as soon as you can, as that will help you to rotate the car through the corner easier.

The main difference is that in Formula E, we have to do everything by ourselves, while in the LMP1 cars, it is more automatic. Also, the hybrid car doesn’t have a big battery as we only use the boost out of the corners. In Formula E, we use the battery all the time, because it’s the only propulsion system we have.

Motorsport has given me pretty much everything in life, but most importantly, it taught me from a very early age responsibility, discipline and self control.

It’s never too late to start if you really want something! So go for it!

Well, there is not only one route. To get into series like WTCC and WEC, you have to start from the smaller series, and build up some experience.

It’s very difficult, as we have to manage a lot of things on our own, like manage the energy levels, and also the grip level is very low.

Sure, I am looking forward to winning my first race. I think with the DS Virgin team, we have worked very hard, and we have the potential to do it.

The most difficult was to learn how to manage the energy in the races.

Right now I feel about 80% adapted to the category, but there are still some points on which I feel I could be a little better.

I think that today simulators are becoming more and more important in racing. Sure, it can teach you something – I have a simulator at home and I play a lot too!

There is almost nothing you can take from WTCC to Formula E. I felt that I had to start from scratch when I joined. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I am in a much better position to fight for podiums.

In Formula E downforce is not a big factor, and there is not comparison with Formula 1. Having more downforce in Formula E would mean we would have to spend more energy, and that is something we do not want. If you lose the front wing, sure we will lose front grip, but we could still drive and not lose too much time.

I’ve never really been looking to race in the Indy 500, but if I ever had the opportunity I would go for it. However, if I was in Formula 1 I wouldn’t miss a race to do it.

My favourite racing track in the world is Nurburgring Nordschleife, and I would love to drive my Toyota LMP1 TS050 on that track!
