00:03 Hi, guys.
00:10 So you've just seen a few stats about my new teammate.
00:12 Now join me to get to know Lucas even better.
00:15 Lucas.
00:15 What's up, Nico?
00:16 How are you, man?
00:17 How are you, man?
00:17 Good.
00:18 We have some questions, man, for our followers.
00:20 So the first one that I would love you to answer
00:23 is, tell us who Lucas Di Grassi is in just three words.
00:27 A racer, a father, a Brazilian.
00:29 So this will already be your 10th season in Formula E.
00:32 What appeals you the most about this competition?
00:34 The competitiveness of the championship,
00:36 the level of the drivers, the teams.
00:38 It's so, so high level.
00:40 And we're able to race in the city centers, which
00:42 is actually--
00:44 it's very exciting to be driving close to those walls.
00:46 And what do you think you can bring to our team here?
00:49 A lot of the experience.
00:50 I mean, I've been here.
00:51 I raced with ABB for seven years before, so I know everybody.
00:54 And I'll try to bring the knowledge and experience
00:57 from other teams that I race.
00:58 And last but not least, what are your expectations
01:01 going into this season?
01:03 Hard to say, but definitely to score points more often,
01:06 to be competitive in every race, at least fighting for the top 10,
01:09 top six there in a good basis.
01:12 I think that would be the most important thing we can do.
01:15 And hopefully get a podium or maybe get lucky one
01:18 or another time to be up there.
01:21 Let's do it.
01:21 Cool, man.
01:22 Good luck.
01:22 See you later.
01:23 See you.
