Jeff Dodds values Verstappen’s insight, but says he has not spoken with the F1 champion further about the car.
Formula E chief executive Jeff Dodds would like Max Verstappen to drive the series’ new Gen4 car, partly because he values the four-time Formula 1 champion’s insight. Dodds told RacingNews365 he had not spoken with Verstappen further about the car.
The Gen4 is set to be Formula E’s most powerful car yet, with permanent all-wheel drive, 450 kW of race power and up to 600 kW in Attack Mode.
Formula E plans a double-header at Zandvoort in June 2027, the series’ first races in Verstappen’s home country. Dodds did not indicate whether Verstappen would be involved, but he expects the Gen4 car to attract new drivers.
