Prince William<\/a> made a hilarious joke linked to his height after he mastered sitting behind the wheel of a replica of a Jaguar Formula E (FE) racing car. The Prince of Wales met drivers and engineers at Jaguar TCS Racing\u2019s base in Kidlington<\/a>, Oxfordshire, working on new technologies in the world\u2019s fastest-growing electric motorsport.<\/p>\n In the factory, the prince was greeted by Antonio Felix da Costa, the 2020 FE world champion, who offered him the chance to sit behind the wheel of a development car, identical to the team\u2019s current model. The heir, who\u2019s 6ft 3in, joked that \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of room in the legs, is there?\u201d as he settled into the car<\/p>\n Da Costa talked the prince through what it is like to race the car, as well as its equipment and features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Before getting out of the car, the prince thanked the sportsman, adding \u201cthat\u2019s fantastic\u201d.<\/p>\n William, who is known to have an interest in the environment, appeared enthusiastic and engaged as he asked questions about the sustainability aspect of FE, something he described as \u201cincredible\u201d, and told engineers they are \u201cdoing very well\u201d.<\/p>\n Meeting young engineers who had completed a graduate programme with Jaguar TCS Racing, the prince told them he had joked with their colleagues earlier that, with so many innovations in the sport, \u201cat what point does the driver become the weak link?\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201c(At what point do we think) get rid of drivers, we\u2019ll get an AI person in?\u2026 We\u2019re probably not far off that, are we?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jack Lambert, head of technical integration at Jaguar TCS Racing, who gave the prince a tour of the premises, joked that William\u2019s height could make racing in the car uncomfortable.<\/p>\n Mr Lambert said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see him in there, and that he was keen to get in it, because it\u2019s not an easy thing to get in and out of by any means\u2026 so for him to be so open to doing that with everyone around, it\u2019s not a small ask, but he was really keen.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd his interaction with Antonio, and Antonio being able to tell him about his world while he\u2019s behind the steering wheel, it\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prince William made a hilarious joke linked to his height after he mastered sitting behind the wheel of a replica of a Jaguar Formula E (FE) racing car.
