In Their Words

Maximilian Günther, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“The Monaco E-Prix is one of the definitive highlights of the season. It’s an iconic circuit but it’s also very special because it’s our home race as a team, and also something of a home race for me because I live there. Monaco is the half-way point of Season 10, and so far, we’ve shown great pace with obvious highlights in Tokyo and Misano. When I look back on our performance over the past 12 months, it’s clear that we’ve taken a step forward, and based on how we’re operating, anything feels achievable. We’ll carry on with the same proven approach we’ve been using all season, and hopefully, we can be in for another good points finish this weekend.”

Jehan Daruvala, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing

“After securing my first Formula E points finish at Misano, I’m very excited to get back behind the wheel this weekend. Monaco is the team’s home race, but it’s also circuit that I know very well from my time in Formula 2. I’ve done seven races there since 2021, and finished on the podium twice, so I’m looking forward to being in familiar territory. Monaco is a very technical circuit, and while it is possible to overtake, Qualifying will be very important. If we can start inside the top 10, I’m confident that we could be on for another good result.”

Cyril Blais, Chief Engineer, Maserati MSG Racing

“Race by race, we’re getting closer and closer to the business end of the season, and Monaco marks the mid-point of the championship. From here on out, every point we can score will be crucial to our championship efforts. With the win in Tokyo, the podium at Misano, and Jehan’s first points, we’re in a very good position as a team at this moment in time but we don’t take anything for granted. Monaco is our home race, and because of that, we’re often asked if we feel more pressure than usual, and the answer to that is no, we don’t. If anything, it has the opposite effect – racing at home makes us more comfortable because we’re working in a very familiar environment that we’re used to. As always, our approach remains the same for this weekend: prepare well, maximise our track time in practice, qualify well, and take advantage of every opportunity in the race.”

Giovanni Sgro, Head of Maserati Corse

“It's always exciting to race in Monaco, a circuit known for some of the most memorable moments in racing. The Italian round, home race for Maserati, was an important occasion to gather the Trident’s fans for a double-header in which Max achieved his second podium and Jehan scored his first points finishing in the top 10 for the first time in his Formula E career. We are almost halfway through this dynamic second season for Maserati and we are happy that the hard work is paying off, with consistency and progress race after race. Our aim this year is to capitalize on last year’s achievements, in Maserati's debut season, when everything was new for us in the electric series. Thanks to the brand's strong motorsport heritage, we have been able to resume from where we left and enter the new electric motorsport era with the same undiminished passion. Monaco is the place where every driver wants to race and one of the most unpredictable and challenging circuits. We can't wait to see our team in action this weekend."
