Shanghai, July 24, 2024 - After 16 races across the globe, the 10th season of the FIA Formula E World Championship came to a close in London. Maserati MSG Team, participating for the second time, ultimately placed eighth, with driver Maximilian Günther securing eighth place in the Drivers' Championship, while rookie driver Jehan Daruvala ranked 21st.
At the beginning of the 10th season, the Maserati MSG Team demonstrated its outstanding strength and strong performance. Günther secured a victorious win in the fifth round of the Tokyo E-Prix, and followed it up with a third-place finish in the subsequent Misano round, which was also a home race for Maserati. Throughout the season, the German driver managed to enter the top ten of the race nine times, consistently displaying remarkable competitiveness capable of challenging for the podium.
As the only rookie driver in this season, Jehan showed remarkable perseverance and a steadfast learning attitude. The experience accumulated from each completed race boosted his confidence and speed, enabling him to enter the top ten for the first time in the second race of the Misano round. He continued to demonstrate solid performance in every subsequent race.
Maserati, relentlessly pursuing and expanding the limits of performance, has boldly embarked on the era of pure electric mobility by pioneering its entry into the most innovative series in motorsport today, with aspirations to become a leading brand and stand out in the future of transportation.
Participating in the FIA Formula E World Championship presents a unique opportunity for the Tridente brand to develop and harness advanced electrification and track technologies, which can then be applied to the development of its mass-produced vehicles, represented by the Folgore pure electric series.
Giovanni Sgro, Maserati's Motorsport Director, commented, "This year's second participation in the Formula E series has been remarkable, and we have gained a great deal. From the triumphs on the podium in Tokyo and Misano to the more challenging moments, our desire to win has never wavered."
"During our maiden voyage into FE competition, our focus was largely on the exhilarating racing experience offered by the electric single-seaters. However, this season has provided us with a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the championship and its unique dynamics. Looking back on this year's races, we are more determined than ever to establish ourselves as one of the leading brands, competing head-to-head with the top teams. Both our drivers and the entire team have demonstrated remarkable resilience and a relentless spirit of competition, and we are grateful for their tireless efforts.
Furthermore, Formula E continues to serve as a vital platform for our brand to develop pure electric production vehicles, showcasing Maserati's unwavering passion for the world of motorsport. As we now enter a period of respite, the team will utilize this time to prepare for the challenges of the upcoming season. We are excited to see what the future holds and are committed to pushing the boundaries of electric performance even further."
