Alejandro Agag has always wanted to change the world, and for much of his adult life he was on a path to doing just that in the world of politics.
Agag left the political stage in 2001, and these days defines forward thinking in the world of motor racing and sustainability. Want to know what racing might look like 10 years from now? A good place to start would be to check out what Alejandro Agag is up to today. “I’ve always been very interested in environmental problems. I’m not an environmentalist, I’m not an activist. I’m more of a practical person who wants to create real solutions to these massive problems we have, and to do it through the things that I do—which is mainly motor racing now, which is my passion.”“The idea of Formula E came, really, from my intuition,” Agag says. “I was of course working in the world of Formula 1, of combustion racing.
The Agag-led Formula E Series has spawned other sustainable racing series, including Extreme E, Extreme H, and the E1 electric boat racing series.Extreme E is an electric off-road SUV racing series that began competition in 2021. That series will become Extreme H and feature hydrogen-powered SUVs. Extreme H is scheduled to debut with the blessing of the FIA in 2025.“I believe the hydrogen project is really attractive and is beautiful because of the number of challenges that we have to overcome.
