MAXIMILIAN GUENTHER SECURES VICTORY FOR MASERATI MSG RACING IN DEBUT TOKYO E-PRIX
- Maximilian Guenther secures victory for Maserati MSG Racing in the first Tokyo E-Prix, overcoming Oliver Rowland's early lead with Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida and Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike in attendance
- This latest result in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship reiterates its competitive reputation, with five different winners in five races for Season 10 so far
- Pascal Wehrlein of TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team leads the Drivers’ Championship, with Jaguar TCS Racing leading the Teams’ Championship, heading into the next race, the double-header of the Misano E-Prix
- The event unfolded before a star-studded crowd, including Formula 1 sensation Yuki Tsunoda, Sung Kang of Fast & Furious fame, motorsport legends Emerson Fittipaldi and Takumo Sata, along with television host and actor, Emilia Hartford
TOKYO, Japan. Sat. 30 Mar. 2024 - Maserati MSG Racing's Maximilian Guenther emerged victorious in the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix, triumphing over polesitter Oliver Rowland (Nissan Formula E Team), marking a historic moment as Formula E adds yet another race winner to its already too-close-to-call line-up for Season 10.
The pushing and shoving began in Turn 1 on the first lap of the double overtime attempt in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Circuit of The Americas. Austin Hill was the instigator, pushing Shane van Gisbergen toward the first turn and eventually pushing him out of the way to the race lead. A lap later, van Gisbergen did some pushing of his own on Hill’s back bumper and even caved in the nose of his Kaulig Racing Chevrolet.
Neither driver went to victory lane. Kyle Larson took advantage of their disagreement and drove past both of them, while van Gisbergen got the best of Hill off the final turn to cross the finish line second (before being penalized 30 seconds for cutting the course). Hill still seemed upset after the checkered flag, but eventually cooler heads – even if their views differed – prevailed by the time the field parked on pit road.
