Nico Rosberg, an investor in the all-electric series, thinks Formula E could one day merge with Formula 1.
The 2016 world champion reckons it may be easier for motor racing's top open wheeler category to simple absorb Formula E rather than establish its own 'green' credentials.
'A big and difficult step'
