What do the Nissan Formula E team fear most? A visit from the Department of Futures. Team principal Tommaso Volpe runs a tight ship, but could it be tighter? That's what a group of hard-nosed schoolchildren are here to find out. We like how nervous the engineers are from the off, as everyone tries to get the workshop in order and not spill any tea or coffee. When the inspectors arrive, what they lack in size, they more than make up for in business acumen. They demand results on and off the track (drivers Oliver Rowland and Sacha Fenestraz are not immune from criticism). Volpe, meanwhile, must demonstrate how he would celebrate if and when Nissan win the world championship. It needs some work, for sure. You can understand why the kids are so invested—the quicker EV technology improves and captures the public imagination, the better the planet they inherit will be. Adults need to get their arses in gear, or the DoF will resort to extreme measures.
