Giovinazzi Challenges Max Verstappen After Formula E Run

Formula1 is the pinnacle of motorsports. The world’s fastest cars racing around the globe. However, lately, there has been a rise in electric vehicles amid environmental concerns, which eventually gave birth to the Formula E series. It is a very competitive series in its own right and recently Formula E driver Antonio Giovinazzi stated that F1 world champion Max Verstappen would struggle in the series.

He also thinks that all the drivers coming into the series will struggle because the series is so different.

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.

Max Verstappen in 2022 so far

The Dutchman secured the 2021 world title in Abu Dhabi, and his fine form has continued ever since. He has been the only real challenge to Ferrari’s dominance this season. However, he has had a mixed bag when it comes to results in the first 2 races of the season.

Verstappen was comfortably sitting P2 in the season opener at Bahrain when fuel pump issues forced him to retire. However, redemption came in the very next round in Jeddah after he snatched the race win from Charles Leclerc in the dying stages of the race.
