In an exclusive interview with RaceFans Alejandro Agag opens up on all things Formula 1 and Formula E.

“For me, the key of the whole architecture of the championship is the rule of supplier and client,” Agag said to RaceFans.

“That is the [key] that will guarantee the survival of the independents. The key is that that system works, but not only works to allow a team to survive, it has to work to allow a team to win. That’s what’s necessary. I don’t believe that [there must be teams] to fill the last places of the grid [in order for manufacturers to look good].”

"Those teams that are there because Mercedes cannot come last. [If] you only have Mercedes and Red Bull, one of them comes last, so you need other people to come last. I don’t believe in that. I believe that every team should have a chance to win without having to spend a multi-million budget or being with a big car manufacturer."

Former Formula 1 World Champion Damon Hill took to Twitter to say 'I wish this guy could get a hold on F1'.
