- Maserati MSG Racing driver Maximilian Günther claims first win for Maserati in single-seat motorsport since 1957 with victory in ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race
- Second race in the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header sees Jake Dennis take a consecutive runner-up position

인도네시아 자카르타. Sun. 2023년 6월 4일 - 마세라티 MSG 레이싱 드라이버 막시밀리안 귄터가 자카르타에서 2년 연속 줄리어스 바르 폴 포지션을 레이스 우승으로 전환하며 1957년 이후 처음으로 1인승 모터스포츠에서 포디움의 정상에 복귀했습니다.
The second race of the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header saw German Günther claim his fourth win in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and his first in the iconic blue livery of legendary automaker Maserati. The last time the trident was seen on the top step of a single-seater championship was in 1957 when the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio won the German Grand Prix on his way to that year’s Formula One title.
Günther was followed home by Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team) who started and finished second in both races on Formula E’s return to Indonesia. The points haul moves Dennis to within just one point of standings leader, Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team).
Following a dramatic first race in which he was hit by his own teammate, leaving the Jaguar TCS Racing team pointless on the day, Mitch Evans recovered superbly to produce a classy defensive drive and round out the podium places in third.
Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy lost his championship lead to the previous day’s race winner Pascal Wehrlein – who finished sixth – after an ill-judged overtake led to contact and a point-less day. Cassidy now trails Dennis by five points with six points separating the top three drivers in a hugely tight tussle for the title.
With Günther starting pole for the second day, the young German was looking to turn a promising Saturday drive and podium into his fourth race victory, and he looked assured from the off as he held position in the opening stages.
With a clear race strategy, he appeared happy to hold fire behind Dennis once the Brit had taken the lead through the first round of ATTACK MODE activations.
The telling switch came as Günther held off on his second jolt of ATTACK MODE when Dennis blinked first. The German was able to generate a gap enough to leapfrog the Avalanche Andretti driver by the time he made the dive for his final 50kW boost on Lap 18.
마세라티 MSG 레이싱의 드라이버는 결승선까지 데니스와 2.822초, 에반스와는 18초 이상 격차를 벌렸습니다. 멕시코시티에서 열린 데니스의 시즌 개막전 우승 이후 GEN3 시대에서 2초 이상 차이로 우승한 선수는 없었으며, 이 차이는 지난 10라운드 중 가장 큰 차이였습니다.
Drama struck the standings leader Cassidy who had only failed to score once this season, with 13th in Diriyah, but he made a costly slip in trying to pass title rival Wehrlein on Lap 20. His car was damaged, he was shuffled to the back of the pack and 19th position.
The Nissan pair of Sacha Fenestraz and Norman Nato made late-race progress to seal fourth and fifth from seventh and 12th on the grid, respectively. Fenestraz’s move on reigning champion Stoffel Vandoorne (DS PENSKE) caught the Belgian unawares into the hairpin, with his teammate Nato able to follow.
이 패스로 반도른은 최종 9위로 밀려났고 웨라인, 안토니오 펠릭스 다 코스타(태그호이어 포르쉐 포뮬러 E 팀), 에도아르도 모타라(마세라티 MSG 레이싱)가 6위, 7위, 8위를 차지하며 여유롭게 추월할 수 있었습니다. 엔비전 레이싱은 아쉬운 오후를 보냈지만 세바스티앙 부에미가 단 1점을 앞서며 톱 10에 올랐습니다.
태그호이어 포르쉐가 212점으로 팀 순위에서 선두를 달리며 190점을 획득한 엔비젼 레이싱과 171점으로 3위를 차지한 재규어 TCS 레이싱을 크게 따돌렸습니다.
ABB FIA 포뮬러 E 월드 챔피언십 시즌 9에는 5개의 레이스가 남아 있으며, 6월 24일에는 이번 시즌 시리즈의 네 번째 데뷔 도시인 2023 사우스와이어 포틀랜드 E-프리가 열립니다.
마세라티 MSG 레이싱의 7번 선수 막시밀리안 귄터(Maximilian Günther)는 이렇게 말했습니다:
"어제도 포디엄에 올라 정말 기뻤는데 이번 우승까지 더해져 정말 자랑스러운 순간입니다. 지난 몇 번의 레이스에서 만족할 만한 성과를 거뒀고, 자카르타에서 첫 우승을 차지한 것은 정말 대단한 일입니다. 정말 행복합니다.
“We felt really good from FP1 onwards, so the package is working here it was about executing it and keep shooting in the right direction. We always took the right decisions this weekend. Yesterday we did not have enough, but today we did. It is absolutely amazing.
“In Formula E you always need to keep your feet on the ground, like life in general! It can change so quickly, I am just really enjoying this moment here, I know there will be tracks that suit us more, there will be tracks that suit us less. We try to always maximize our package, which is what we have been doing the past few races. I am very proud.”
아발란체 안드레티 포뮬러 E의 27번 제이크 데니스는 이렇게 말했습니다:
"어제보다 훨씬 더 행복합니다. 솔직히 말해서 정말 좋은 레이스였고, 초반에 P2를 유지할 수 있어서 기뻤습니다. 솔직히 두 번째 어택 모드를 제대로 활용하지 못했고, 결국 마세라티가 오늘 한 바퀴 동안 너무 빨랐고, 그가 밀어붙일 때 간격을 만들어서 기본적으로 저에게 오버컷을 하고 다시 트랙 포지션을 잡았습니다. 그를 따라잡기 어려웠을 겁니다.
"P2, 18점(가장 빠른 랩으로 19점)으로 만족합니다. 이를 바탕으로 포틀랜드에서 계속 큰 포인트를 쌓을 수 있기를 바랍니다. 홈 레이스인 포틀랜드는 우리에게 큰 경기가 될 것입니다. 기대가 됩니다.
"방금 라디오에서 닉(캐시디)이 DNF를 했다는 소식을 들었는데, 이는 분명 우리에게 도움이 되고 파스칼이 P6를 차지한 것은 분명합니다. 정말 좋은 점수이고 챔피언십을 위해 중요한 점수지만 아직 5라운드가 많이 남았어요. 아직 남은 경기가 많지만 정말 기대가 됩니다."
Mitch Evans, No. 9, Jaguar TCS Racing, said:
“[I am] a bit speechless because it was a massive turnaround from yesterday, I was not expecting this today at all. I struggled a lot during the race with my efficiency, and a bit of pace, and I feel like we were looking good half-way through but once Max and Jake put their foot down, I just could not keep up. It was a bit of a roadblock, but I hung on and really needed these points after yesterday. The confetti on the podium will taste good.
“In the range I was in I was doing a lot of coasting, and it just left me very exposed to Stoffel and the guys behind. The pace was slow and so I felt like I was up against the corner but luckily, I was able to hang on and towards the end it got a little bit easier. I was able to under-consume and hit the targets up a bit. Hung on and I guess that is the main thing.”
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to the USA on Saturday, 24 June for the 2023 Southwire Portland E-Prix, the first time Formula E has raced in the city.
