Maximilian Gunther has described his Jakarta E-Prix victory as one of the proudest moments of his career after steering Maserati to the top step of the podium in the single-seater category for the first time since 1957.
The Maserati MSG Racing driver sealed his first win of this season’s ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in the second race of the Jakarta E-Prix doubleheader earlier this month.
It was his first for Maserati after Juan Manuel Fangio won the Formula One German Grand Prix 66 years ago. The next race will take place in Portland on June 24.
The 25-year-old Gunther, who started on pole, said it was a great feeling to end Maserati’s long wait. “It was a big weekend and very happy with what I achieved in Jakarta,” he said. “The momentum changed a few weekends ago at Berlin and everything was coming together.
