Rossiter on first year as a team principal: ‘There’s still a huge amount to learn’
In season nine, Rossiter made his debut as a Team Principal for Maserati Racing, following Jérôme d’Ambrosio’s departure. This marked his transition from being a driver to a team leader, although he had previously served as Sporting Director for DS Techeetah.
Maserati’s return to single-seater racing initially faced challenges, with poor results and driver errors. However, their fortunes improved in Berlin when Maximilian Günther secured the team’s first podium of the season and went on to win the second race, giving Maserati their first single-seater victory since 1957.
Rossiter’s first victory as a team leader was a memorable moment, and Maserati’s performance continued to strengthen throughout the second half of the season. Rossiter also grew into his role as Team Principal, acknowledging that he has been continuously learning and stepping out of his comfort zone.
As Maserati prepares for season 10, Rossiter is focused on further improving and challenging the frontrunners. He sees his journey as an amazing one and values the experiences and lessons learned along the way.
Overall, Rossiter’s debut season as a Team Principal was one to remember, and he is determined to continue his growth and success in this new role.
