Maserati signs Jehan Daruvala alongside Maximilian Guenther for Formula E team
Posted by Tejas Kokcha on Oct 6, 2023
Indian racing sensation Jehan Daruvala will be joining Maximillian Guenther at Maserati MSG Racing for Formula E’s season 10. Jehan Daruvala has previously taken part in Formula E testing as a Mahindra Racing Reserve Driver and so he’s well versed with the sport.
After a sensational Formula 3 season in 2019, Daruvala made his name in the Formula 2 championship with four race wins and 18 podiums. He will add freshness to the Maserati MSG Racing Formula E team.
“Formula E is a championship that I have admired for a long time, and after taking part in two test sessions, I’m very happy to have the opportunity to step up to a full-time race seat. From my experiences so far, the GEN3 car is completely unique to drive, but I’ve found it to be a very rewarding experience,” said Jehan Daruvala.
The 24 year old will be joining Maximillian Guenther. The German-Austrian racing driver gave Maserati first victory in World Championship single-seater motorsport since Juan Manuel Fangio and followed up his victory with two pole positions and four podium finishes.
Max said, ““I’m very proud to continue with Maserati MSG Racing. We had a great first season together, particularly with the momentum we built in the second half of the year with one win, four podiums and two poles. Continuing to build on this base is something that I‘m very much looking forward to in 2024, alongside working with Jehan as my new teammate.”
Between October 23 to 27, both Max Gunther and Jehan Daruvala will take part in pre-season testing at Valencia's Circuit Ricardo Tormo for the 2023-24 season.
