Alberto Longo, co-founder and chief commercial officer (CCO) of Formula E, has expressed support for Formula 1's direction toward greater electrification. In a recent statement, Longo said that the 2026 Formula 1 regulations are doing Formula E "a great favour."
The 2026 regulations for Formula 1 have been a significant topic of discussion in the motorsport community, focusing on increased sustainable power units and hybrid technologies. Longo highlighted how these changes align with and potentially boost the profile of Formula E, the all-electric racing championship founded in 2014 to promote electric mobility.
While Formula 1 continues to evolve its powertrain specifications to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency, Formula E positions itself as a pioneer in fully electric competition. Longo's comments underscore a sense of collaboration between the two series, even as they pursue distinct paths in racing innovation.
No specific details on the exact nature of the favour were elaborated in the statement, but it reflects ongoing industry shifts toward sustainability in motorsport.
