FIA Formula E founder and CEO Alejandro Agag thinks that latest recruit Esteban Gutierrez has a bright future in the all electric series.
Gutierrez confirmed that he would be switching to Formula E after he was not retained by Haas for the 2017 Formula One season.
Agag has been a fan of Gutierrez for a long time and believes that the Mexican has a successful future ahead of him.
“I think that’s [Gutierrez joining] great news for the championship,” he said. “We’ve known Esteban for a long time - I was in GP2 when Esteban was there and obviously he’s a great driver.
“He’s a young driver and has a long career in front of him and is choosing to follow his career after Formula 1 in Formula E.
“At his age, I see a very bright future for him. I think it’s going to be great for the Mexico race to have a local star for the fans to cheer for.
“This year Esteban is going to be on a learning curve in Formula E - he’s missed two races of the season already, so it’s not a season for him to try to win the championship, but a season to learn.
“He’ll race in Mexico and New York - we have a few clashes with other championships that will free up seats and for him to occupy those seats and to learn.
“And then after that in season four, I think he’ll have a proper race drive and will be one of the guys who is going to fight for the championship.”
