AT WHAT POINT DID YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE ?
Motorsport obviously isn ' t the first thing that comes to mind when you think about sustainability .
We initially chose electric motorsport because of the parity of materials , lower costs and the technology aspects . But this naturally led us to embrace and understand how electric motorsport is innovating for sustainability .
As I ' ve gained experience as a driver , I have also gained experience in the sustainability space and really enjoy using the platform we have gained over the years to push a positive message and have an opportunity to develop new technologies .
HOW DOES YOUR ROLE IN RACING HELP DRIVE TOWARDS MORE SUSTAINABLE RACING AND , ULTIMATELY , ROAD USE ?
Motorsport has always been the testing ground for new technology that eventually ends up on the road . The cars we drive now are developing the components you will see in your day to day commute in the future and in all kinds of products beyond automotive .
While developing this new technology , I get to use my voice as an athlete to inspire the younger generations that will be the ones to help make an impact , and electric motorsport is a super cool way to inspire people and get them curious about sustainability .
How knowledgeable is your generation about climate change and what do you hope to teach them ?
I think , with the internet , we have more access to information than ever . The role I hope to have is to show them the impact they can have and educate them even more in a super cool way with electric racing .
Our generation is full of the people that will be the change-makers in the future , WATCH
