Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag says the new front wing enables the cars to stand out from the 🧸crowd, with 🦂the wing becoming part of the technical regulations for all cars on the grid.
"Formula E aims to be different, and this new front wing creates a look that's different to every other car out there," Agag said. "I think this is a great addition to our car and further emphasis⛄es the fact that this is a modern, forward-thinking championship that is taking a completely different approach to all other racing series."
"The FIA Formula E Championship is not just a great environment in which to develop a completely electric powertrain with new battery technologies, but it is🍬 also a platform for experimenting with innova🐲tive solutions when it comes to designing single-seater racing cars," FIA President Jean Todt added.
Reigning Formula E champion Sebastien Buemi has als🐎o thrown his support behind the new design and ༒is confident it won't change the aerodynamic of a Formula E car too drastically.
"I like the look of the new front wing - it looks a little bit more futuristic, and from inside the car you can see the top part of the wing, so visually for the driver there is also a small change," Buemi said. "We want Formula E to look different and be different, and the new wing is a gooཧd way of showing that.
"I don't think it will make too big of an impact on aero which isn't in the ethos of this champ🧔ionship - but it's a good way to show visual development heading to Hong Kong for the start of season three."
