In Their Words 

Scott Swid, Chairman & Managing Partner, Maserati MSG Racing

“Season 10 is shaping up to be one of Formula E’s most exciting for a long time, and we're looking forward to this weekend’s race in Mexico City. Pre-season testing went well, and since then, everyone has been working incredibly hard to ensure that we’re in the best possible position for the start of the season. We’re united in our goal and purpose – we know what we want to achieve, and we know what we need to do to get there. Throughout Season 9, which showed some incredible highs and brutal lows, we demonstrated resilience and the impact of tenacity in motorsport. We rose from every challenge we faced, and with this experience, we know that we can face any scenario that is presented to us in 2024. We have a great driver line-up, race winning experience and I expect us to be fighting at the front.”

 

Maximilian Günther, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“I’m very much looking forward to kicking off the season in Mexico City. We’ve had a great off-season, made some good steps forwards and the spirit within the team is strong. The track in Mexico City is a challenge that I enjoy a lot, the layout is fast, and we have this amazing section through the Foro Sol stadium where you really feel the passion and the energy of the fans. The difference in altitude plays a role as well. I’m looking forward to the fantastic welcome that we always receive from the Mexican fans, and we will try to begin our season with a good weekend.”

 

Jehan Daruvala, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“It’s fair to say that I’m really excited for my debut with Maserati MSG Racing in Mexico – what an iconic place to start my journey as a Formula E driver. Together with the team we have worked really hard over the last few months make sure that I’m as prepared as possible ahead of the start of the season. The track layout looks fun to drive and the atmosphere in Mexico is something I’m very much looking forward to experiencing as well – people underestimate the impact that these things can have on a driver. Most of all though, I want to do myself and my team proud.”

 

Giovanni Sgro, Head of Maserati Corse

“After an intense and exciting first year,we have been eager to get back on track. It's great to be with the team in pitlane and feel the energy for this new season ahead of us. Our goal is to start off with last year's momentum and demonstrate our competitive spirit. The 2023 season helped us to gain confidence on the track and relive our racing DNA that has always been with us, and to get in touch with this new, electrifying and innovative competition. From a technological point of view, for us every race is an opportunity to collect new important elements to be transferred to the Folgore range, while cultivating our distinctive sporting drive with equal passion. In our debut year in Formula E, we have reached the podium several times: this year we intend to become a constant presence in the battle to be in the leading group.”
