    Well...apparently its "adapt or die" for automakers.

    It will be interesting to see how Ferrari - which ethos resides in its ICEs, will be able to compete in a world of electric motors > which are "more of a commodity".

    How will the brand manage to differentiate itself and be loyal to its heritage.

    The only positive point is the end of "sticky buttons", now that all will be touch screen based. ;)

    This isn't Formula E, this is E Sports. Which is virtual racing using the official F1 video game.

    So it means SF90's aero limitations won't be an issue and we might have a chance? :D

    SF90 is an awesome piece of kit, and actually the only one hybrid car that might actually encourage me to buy it..... fantastic looking, and great performance available.

    I'm surprised that Force India isn't a World Champ in this!

    Right, so just to be clear this is Formula 1 E sports and not Formula E
    Bit of a difference not clear from the thread title

    Absolutely, you never mention fantastic or performance in the same sentence as mentioning the f1 lemon. I heard they are thinking of repainting the cars giallo fly!
