Maserati MSG Racing Encounters Setbacks At Portland E-Prix
Maserati MSG Racing faced a tough challenge in the first race of the 2024 Portland E-Prix double-header. Despite a late push, the team narrowly missed out on points in the United States. The Monaco-based team entered Formula E’s 10th season penultimate race weekend with high hopes but struggled for pace during practice sessions.
In qualifying for Race One, drivers Maximilian Günther and Jehan Daruvala couldn't reach the duel stages. They started from 17th and 18th due to grid penalties after placing 19th and 20th. The race began with both drivers holding their positions but soon fighting forward, with Jehan taking an early Attack Mode on lap four.
Maximilian Günther managed to break into the points-paying positions on lap 15 after taking both Attack Modes in quick succession. He continued to fight forward, running as high as sixth. Unfortunately, he lost track position late in the race and was forced to retire after contact with Jehan on lap 24. Jehan finished in 16th place.
Jehan Daruvala expressed his frustration: "Today’s race was obviously frustrating, and I’m very sorry for the team. Late in the race I was running behind Max, my brakes locked up into Turn One, and after that I was pretty much a passenger and tried to avoid him as much as I could. It was my mistake, and I take full responsibility for it."
Cyril Blais, Deputy Team Principal of Maserati MSG Racing, commented on the outcome: "The outcome of today’s race wasn’t something we deserved, nor was it remotely close to what we set out to achieve. Reflecting on today, I think there’s a lot for us to debrief and digest, but I’m confident that we can put the necessary changes in place to come back stronger on Sunday."
Giovanni Sgro, Head of Maserati Corse, added: "Unfortunately, we’ve been unlucky today, and racing can be disappointing sometimes. Portland is an extremely fast circuit, and it hasn't been kind to us. Every round is a challenge and a learning opportunity: for Maserati, Formula E isn't only a series of races but most of all the ideal platform to extend our commitment to the new era of electrification."
