We would welcome them with open arms,&#8221; said Agag.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari&#8217;s Sergio Marchionne is watching FE&#8217;s development with interest, and admitted his company was seriously considering an entry into the all-electric series, but likely not before 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to be involved in Formula E because electrification via hybridisation is going to be part of our future,&#8221; Marchionne told FIA publication Auto back in April.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Want to win a trackday experience?
