Formula E racer Lucas di Grassi talks climate change

From the Santiago E Prix Lucas di Grassi talks climate change:

 

"You have to have the policies of the governments pushing for renewables, pushing for cleaner cities, pushing for cleaner energy production, and the whole ecosystem of the industry of fossil fuels has to change. It is much deeper than electric cars, but in any case we are doing our part here in making this technology accepted faster by everyone."

 

Di Grassi was the winner of the first-ever Formula E race - the 2014 Beijing ePrix - and has appeared on the podium more times than any other driver. He has driven for the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team throughout, but was the first driver to commit to the series and played a key role in the development of the original spec car that was used in season one.
