Formula E founder Alejandro Agag: Formula One will 'feel the heat' from Formula E

Formula E founder Alejandro Agag believes Formula E has the potential to overtake Formula One as the world's leading motorsport series once the automotive industry becomes all-electric.

Formula E is currently the only all-electric racing series and will enter its fifth season when it debuts its new Gen2 car in December. While the performance of the cars are still vastly down on modern day F1 machinery, the series has enjoyed steady progress since its debut season in 2014 and has since attracted some of motorsport's biggest manufacturers, such as Audi and BMW, with Mercedes and Porsche set to enter the fray in season six.
