Efter en flot tredjeplads i sæson 10, har DS Automobiles og PENSKE Autosport annonceret ankomsten af den tyske racerkører Maximilian Günther på DS PENSKE teamet. 

Den 27-årige Günther har været iblandt nøglekørerer i Formula E siden 2018 og har allerede leveret gode resultater i det fuldelektriske mesterskab. Hans rekord fra sæson 5 op til idag tæller 83 løb, 10 podiepladser, 5 sejrer og 2 førerpositioner. 

Günther vil køre sammen med Jean-Eric Vergne, den eneste der har vundet Formula-E to gange. Sammen er de på en fælles mission om at hæve flaget for hans nye team. 

“We are delighted to welcome Maximilian Günther into our team! He’s an ambitious and fighting driver who will be able to bring us podiums as well as many points. I’m sure that his partnership with Jean-Eric will be very efficient and that we will be able to challenge the winners of Season 10, in order to do even better in this Season 11 that is about to begin!”

Eugenio Franzetti, DS Performance Director

"I'm very happy to be joining DS PENSKE. A powerhouse in the championship and a project with strong vision. We share the same ambitions and are all driven to be at the top of Formula E. Representing DS Performance, a manufacturer which has won several championships already is a real privilege. Same for being teammate with a champion like JEV, it’s something I really look forward to. A very special element for me is to drive for Jay’s team again, he brought me into the championship when I was 20 years old. I’m proud to be part of the team and excited of what we will build together in the future.”
