I think Formula E truly has the potential to become the future of motorsport. Formula One is the past.
We love Formula One and think Formula One's great. But we think Formula E is different. We would be making a big mistake if we tried to compete with Formula One and be similar to Formula One, we have to be radically different to Formula One to have a chance of survival.

The human heart is a factory of idols...Everyon e of us is, from his mother's womb, expert in inventing idols.
Far from being hopeless, Africa is full of hope and potential, maybe more so than any other continent. The challenge is to ensure that its potential is utilised.
The toppling of idols - even respectable, admired, best-practice, fastest-growing idols - is always the road to liberation.
I know that a lot of people like to say "formula." I think that as soon as you start to have a formula imputed to your work, you're in danger of becoming formulaic. So the one formula I have as a rule is falling in love with the material.
