• People don't truly say what they think because of the things they get from the companies
• Social media is all about being consistent.
• Electric cars are a very controversial subject.
• At this moment in time, Electric cars are not a viable option and may not be the final solution
• E-fuel may be the answer as its zero-carbon but means the performance is maintained.
• There is currently no infrastructure for this
• The future will be a combination of different approaches.
• It seems people are removing the passion and what makes car racing an experience that affects your body.
• If I see someone's journey on a road trip that's what makes it fascinating.
• Audi owns the company but Lamborghini still run things their way.
• Lotus has achieved something great with what they've done but now they seem to have lost their sense of direction.
• Companies are reiterating previous cars instead of innovating with something new
• It's impressive what Elon Musk has achieved and having pioneers in space disrupting things is vital.
