The ongoing saga over the ownership of what’s currently the Citroen Formula E team keeps causing new paddock tension
The recent developments surrounding MSG company, which held the license for one of Stellantis’s Formula E entries, has caused a stir in the paddock akin to shaking up a battery-powered snow globe.
Former vice president of sporting at Formula E Operations, Beth Paretta, has joined the Citroen team to work on attracting potential new investors for MSG.
MSG has been dormant commercially for over a year, raising concerns in the paddock, particularly after a failed attempt by Liberty to rescue the team.
Team and manufacturer discord has been stirred by Paretta’s appointment and the uncertainty surrounding MSG’s future.
The Formula E Teams and Manufacturers Association, led by Andretti’s Roger Griffiths, is cautious about potential conflicts of interest and the optics of championships owning teams.
Griffiths highlighted the need for transparency and proper procedures in handling the situation, emphasizing the differences between Formula E and other racing series.
