Venturi Formula E Team boss enthusiastic about Saudi race

Delphine Biscayne, Venturi Formula E Team boss, has been enthusiastic about taking part in the first round of the Ad-Diriyah Formula E-Prix race on December 15.

“We came from Monaco to take part in the first round in Saudi Arabia and we have Brazilian driver Felipe Massa, who is a former Formula One player and is very skilled and experienced.”

Massa announced his entry into the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in May 2018, joining the Venturi Formula E Team for Season 5 alongside teammate Edoardo Mortara.

Impressed with the facilities

“The cars that took part in the race arrived in Saudi Arabia two days ago and everyone, including the drivers and the technical staff, started working to compete for the race. Our schedule includes work from 9 am to 12 pm in the garage for the maintenance of the cars, and to fully equip it we need 48 hours, and on Friday we will inspect the safety systems.”
