Maximilian Günther - Driver - Maserati MSG Racing

“An incredible weekend. We were in the top three in every session and almost got pole position, but securing the win feels so special – everybody did an amazing job. I felt great in the car, and we’ve taken some good steps as a team in the last few weeks. Since São Paulo, I think we’ve shown that we have really strong pace and today, we converted it into a win. There was a lot of energy management in the race, but we covered ourselves well, perfectly executed the strategy, and the moves, and did everything we had to do. It’s amazing to win Formula E’s first-ever race in Tokyo, and I’m proud. We need to enjoy this moment.”

“Firstly, I want to wish a big congratulations to Max! It’s a massive win for the team, and he did a really good job. On my side, my race start was good and I made some good progress over the first few laps, but unfortunately, I picked up some front wing damage after being hit from the side. There is still a lot for me to learn in race conditions so I can maximise my performance, but I’m going to continue to work hard over the coming weeks and push for points at Misano.”

“Today’s race was incredible, and the result is the realisation of months and months of hard work for us as a team. We executed a very well-planned strategy, and we decided to be aggressive – instead of settling for the podium, we chose to push for the win, and I’m very proud of Max and the team for doing such a good job. Jehan was unlucky today and was taken out early in the race through no fault of his own. He’s on a steep learning curve, but we’re continuing to see good progress for him, and hopefully we can target the top 10 with him at Misano. After five races on four very different tracks, we’ve shown great promise and potential so far this season. With our package, we know that we can be competitive almost every weekend, and that gives us all great motivation. I’m confident that we can achieve great things this year.”

“What a day! To win in Tokyo in the first Formula E race on Japanese soil is very exciting and we are happy Maserati has signed its name in the modern history of the series in a new country. Max was consistent throughout the weekend; an incredible and well-deserved victory for the whole team, which never gives up, and finally, after four rounds in which we battled for the podium and always secured points, we can enjoy the prize. From the very first duels at the front, Max was confident he could win this race and did everything to take the victory. The race was very challenging as always when it comes to a new circuit, and it is even more rewarding to win where no one knows what to expect. Jehan suffered a bit this weekend but he is always ready to learn a new lesson race by race and this circuit was an opportunity to prepare for the upcoming round in Italy, where I am sure he will be able to perform well, eager to show his talent as well. I am very proud of everyone today and we couldn’t be happier ahead of our home race in Misano; this win is a real boost and we can’t wait to get back on track and show what we are capable of in front of the Italian fans. But now, let’s go celebrate!”
