Giovinazzi believes Verstappen will struggle in Formula E

Antonio Giovinazzi left Formula 1 at the end of the 2021 season. He made the switchover to Formula E, driving for Dragon Penske racing. The Italian had a tough start to life in Formula E with two 20th place finishes and a retirement. He recently said, “They are such different sports. I understood this as soon as I got on an electric car” commenting on the difference between the 2 series.

Giovinazzi also hinted at the complexity of the sport saying, “Whether a Verstappen can win right away? It does not work like that. Or at least it would surprise me a lot,” suggesting that current F1 champion Max Verstappen would struggle as well.
