In Their Words

Maximilian Günther, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“I’m looking forward to racing at Misano this weekend. It’s the Maserati brand’s home race, and the last time we raced in Italy, we experienced a very special podium finish. Misano is the first purpose-built circuit we’ll be racing on this season, so it will be a great challenge to adapt ourselves to this style of track. The victory in Tokyo has been a great achievement, we feel good about our package, about the way we execute and look forward to continuing this momentum into the upcoming races here in front of the tifosi.”

Jehan Daruvala, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“Misano is a great circuit, and I can’t wait to race there this weekend. When I stepped up to single-seater competition in 2015, Misano was one of the first circuits that I raced at, and it was the site of one of my early podiums and my very first pole position, so it holds a lot of memories. I’ve been playing catch-up throughout this season, but because Misano is another new track in Formula E, every team is starting from the same position. I feel quite confident in my one-lap pace, and I’ve been working hard to improve my performance in race conditions. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see the result of that hard work with points this weekend.”

Yann Ehrlacher, Test Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“I’m excited to get back behind the wheel of a Formula E car this weekend. Representing Maserati MSG Racing in FP0, after previously being scheduled to run for the team during pre-season testing, is a good opportunity for me to improve my own knowledge and skillset of electric motorsport. I’ll be trying to help the team at every available moment, and hopefully, my contribution will add to their current form and momentum.”

Cyril Blais, Chief Engineer, Maserati MSG Racing

“We’re coming into the Misano E-Prix with a lot of positive momentum after our victory in Tokyo. Winning the race was an incredible achievement, but it was the outcome of the hard work that we put in every single week to ensure that we’re continually operating at our very best. Looking at our performance in 2024, there’s a clear trend which indicates that we’ve been competitive at every circuit we’ve visited, and this gives us great confidence because it shows that our package has the performance and capability to be on the pace, regardless of the track or conditions. Knowing this is a massive source of inspiration and motivation for everyone in the team, and we’re hoping for another good performance this weekend. But this doesn’t change our approach at all – we’re hungry for more success, and just because we’ve won one race, we won’t and can’t be complacent. We’ll take Misano one step at a time, prepare as much as possible, and hopefully, our work will put us in another strong position.”

Giovanni Sgro, Head of Maserati Corse

“Formula E is finally arriving in Italy, the home race for Maserati. For the first time, we will be racing at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, an Italian gem in world motorsport, a circuit that every year witnesses stunning battles on the track and where the super-fast Gen3 and drivers will compete to reach the podium. After Max's victory in Tokyo, we can't wait to energize our fans in this truly unique double-header. We’re almost halfway through the season and so far, we have stood out every weekend, finishing in the top 10 and after Tokyo our first victory of the season. The entire team is doing a great job in every round, focused and present in climbing the rankings. We’re very proud of each and every one of them and we hope to bring to the Italian fans new reasons to celebrate this weekend.”
