:03:56. > :04:00.Thank you for coming in this morning. What are the key

:04:01. > :04:08.differences between Formula one and Formula E? They are fully

:04:09. > :04:13.functioning electric racing cars. The sound great, they are very

:04:14. > :04:21.fast. They handle very well and I cant wait to drive them. How do they

:04:22. > :04:27.sound? They sound very futuristic. Like a futuristic spacecraft. You

:04:28. > :04:34.need to cars to complete a course. Why is that? The batteries do not

:04:35. > :04:39.last much longer than 30 minutes. When you are racing, you have to be

:04:40. > :04:43.very strategic with your power management. Half way through the

:04:44. > :04:51.race you have to jump out of one car and into the other. Will there ever,

:04:52. > :04:57.point when the battery runs out by accident? Absolutely. Hopefully in

:04:58. > :05:01.the future, if we can improve the technology and get to a stage where

:05:02. > :05:07.we use more than one car and one battery, that will take it

:05:08. > :05:13.mainstream and make it more viable for the future. What was your route

:05:14. > :05:18.into this car driving? I started with go-karting. It was always a

:05:19. > :05:21.dream. If any kids are watching, follow your dreams. I look forward

:05:22. > :05:24.to seeing you in Beijing. Thanks Sam,
