Italian manufacturer Maserati and the Monegasque Monaco Sports Group enter into a multi-year partnership that sees them link up from Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Despite racing under a new team name from Season 9, Maserati MSG Racing has a defined history and heritage in Formula E and has been present on the grid since 2014 as Venturi.

As one of the first teams to join the series, Venturi moved from strength to strength and the outfit remains as one of only a handful of constant participants in the World Championship. 

A breakthrough Season 5 campaign yielded the team’s first victory, with the outfit scoring podiums in 20 percent of all Formula E races from Seasons 1-8. In the 2022/23 season, Formula E is set to reach a new level of competition and the pinnacle of electric vehicle performance with its third generation racing car. 

Off the back of its most successful season to date and the final under the Venturi name, Maserati MSG Racing is firmly set for success in what will be a landmark competition for the highest tier of electric motorsport.

The next chapter in the team's journey has begun as owners Monaco Sports Group (MSG) welcome a partnership with Maserati, heralding the return of the iconic Trident marque to motor racing’s world stage for the first time in 60 years.

Blending its rich heritage with a bold vision of fearless innovation, the team Maserati MSG Racing brings future-focused performance to Formula E.

Built upon the foundations of Venturi Racing, pioneered by Gildo Pastor, Maserati MSG Racing brings new attitudes to defy, disrupt and redefine by fighting at the front in motorsport’s most competitive arena. With the team’s  historic record of success, the next generation is set to emerge with bright beginnings as we embark upon a new journey to electrify and excite.

    Maximilian Guenther lines up for Maserati MSG Racing in Season 9. The young German star will be looking to further unlock his potential with the competitive outfit and add to his victory tally.

    Fresh from a season in Formula 2 with BWT Arden, Guenther made his debut in Formula E with Dragon after serving as the team's reserve driver in the 2017/18 season. Prior to joining the championship full-time a year later with BMW i Andretti Motorsport, the German took part in the Formula E Rookie Test in Marrakesh, 2018.

    Born in Oberstdorf in 1997, Guenther began his racing career in karts at the age of 10. After three years, the German driver progressed to the world of open-wheel racing in 2011 in the Formula BMW Talent Cup. In 2013, Guenther competed in ADAC Formel Masters from ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg e.V., ending the season second.

    Guenther made his debut in the 2015 European Formula 3 campaign with Mucke Motorsport before joining Prema Powerteam in 2016 and 2017. In 2017, he finished a respectable fifth at the legendary Macau Grand Prix before moving up to Formula 2 in 2018, joining BWT Arden.

    After running as the team's test and reserve driver, Guenther competed in 10 E-Prix with Dragon during his maiden campaign in 2018/19, finishing 17th in the Drivers' running and impressing with two Super Pole appearances.

    BMW i Andretti Motorsport took the young Bavarian on full-time in Season 6 and he pipped then teammate Alexander Sims in the Drivers' Championship, finishing ninth, with breakthrough victories in Santiago and Round 8 from Tempelhof. The German's four non-finishes - including the loss of a podium in Diriyah for overtaking under the safety car - ultimately hampered his outright finishing position but his impressive performances yielded a second season with the BMW manufacturer squad in Season 7 - Formula E's first as an FIA World Championship.

    For Season 8 the young German headed to Nissan e.dams alongside veteran Sebastien Buemi. His campaign mirrored the Swiss' with neither driver challenging the front-runners, Guenther's best was an eighth in London for 19th overall.

    Still a promising prospect on the grid, Guenther's skills have been picked up Maserati MSG Racing for Season 9. With the outfit behind vice-champions Venturi running the Italian manufacturer's debut in Formula E, this combination could prove fruitful

    The 25-year-old is the first and only Indian Formula 2 race winner and has recently completed three Formula 1 tests with McLaren.

    A four-time Formula 2 race winner and multiple-time podium sitter, Daruvala has built on a swift rise up the junior formula ladder after stepping up to the Formula 3 in 2019, where he achieved two wins and finished third in the championship in his rookie year.

    Ahead of his promotion to Formula 2 in 2021, Daruvala made an appearance in the F3 Asian Championship coming third for Indian outfit Mumbai Falcons, where he took three race wins and a further five podiums, as well as three pole positions and fastest laps.

    The Indian driver partnered with home team Mahindra Racing ahead of Season 9, joining the team's roster as their test and reserve driver for the all-new GEN3 era.

    This season has also seen Daruvala make his first official outing for the Mahindra squad at the Berlin Rookie Test, where he finished seventh overall from the day's running.
