FÓRMULA-E

A NEW CHALLENGE FOR FELIPE MASSA
Felipe Massa has a new destiny in his race in motorsport. Almost six months after competing in his last F1 race, the 37-year-old Brazilian is now confirmed as the new Venturi team driver for the 2018/19 Formula E season, a championship that marks the new category cycle of electric cars with the adoption of its second generation of cars. The announcement was made this Tuesday (15) in Monaco, where Felipe lives and also where is based his new team in Formula E.Formula E was an old dream for Massa even before the rider ended his Formula One run in 2017. Whenever asked about his career options, Felipe mentioned the category of electric cars, but also the Endurance World Championship and the DTM. But the ever closer proximity to the F-E demonstrated Massa's taste for the contest. Recently, Felipe accompanied the weekend of the step of Rome, already signaling his destiny in the race.In March of this year, Massa participated, as a guest, in the Race of Duplings of Stock Car next to Cacá Bueno. The driver said that there is a chance to play the Million Run on August 5, in a place not yet confirmed - but that Goiânia has the most likely destination. And this is something that, as the test works of Formula E only begin in the second half, does not conflict with the electric agenda of the Brazilian.Last year, Massa had the chance to test a Formula One car for the first time in a session offered by Jaguar. At that time, the British team - currently represented by Nelsinho Piquet - emerged as an option to the Brazilian as well as Mercedes, but the German brand confirmed its entry into the category only in the sixth season in 2019/20.Thus, on Tuesday morning, the French magazine 'Auto Hebdo' reported the rapprochement between Massa and Venturi for the agreement that was eventually made official hours later.
Now, in addition to being the chairman of the FIA International Kart Commission, the longest time he has spent with his family, Stock Car driver as guest and illustrious spectator (and even commentator) of the F1 races , now Felipe Massa gives a renewed horizon to his career. An electric horizon.
