The inaugural Formula E doubleheader of the 2024/25 season, held on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia, has proven to be a successful outing for the Maserati MSG Racing team. Drivers Jake Hughes and Stoffel Vandoorne finished within the Top 10 in both races, with Hughes, who joined the Monaco-based team this season, securing a third-place podium finish in the second race of the weekend.
Rounds 3 and 4 of the 2024/25 Formula E season, held on 14th and 15th February respectively, resulted in strong performances for Maserati MSG Racing and its drivers, 30-year-old Brit Jake Hughes and 32-year-old Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne.
The duo finished within the Top 10—and in the points—in both races, with Hughes securing P5 and P3, and Vandoorne taking P10 and P6. As a result, Hughes has moved up to fifth in the overall rankings, with 27 points. Vandoorne is 13th in the Drivers’ Standings. In the team table, Maserati MSG Racing sits in fifth.
The team’s former driver, Max Günther, now with DS Penske, won Round 3, edging out Nissan’s Oliver Rowland. The podium was completed by McLaren’s Taylor Barnard.
Rowland found redemption in Round 4, coming out on top ahead of Barnard in second and Maserati MSG Racing’s Hughes in third.
Hughes took to social media to share his joy at earning his first podium with Maserati MSG Racing, writing, “What a race! The team managed it to perfection! Big weekend for us and can’t wait to get to Miami next.”
A statement from Maserati MSG Racing acknowledged the achievements of both its drivers, noting, “P3 for Jake, P6 for Stoffel—coming from the BACK of the grid! What a drive, what a fight! This weekend, we showed up. Both races, both cars, both in the points. And now, Jake is P5 in the championship! The momentum is real, and we’re only getting started. As a team, we couldn’t be prouder. We push together—through the highs and lows—lifting each other up every step of the way. This one feels like a win, and it only fuels us to fight harder.”
The next E-Prix is set to take place in Miami on 12th April, before the grid heads back to Europe for the Monaco E-Prix on 3rd and 4th May.
