“Oliver Rowland admitted that backing off on lap 25 of the Tokyo E-Prix cost him victory as it allowed Maximillian Guenther to overtake him. Rowland had controlled much of the race but needed to save power in the final laps after a safety car period. Despite the missed opportunity, Rowland is unsure if he would do anything differently in the same scenario. On the other hand, Guenther mentioned that overtaking Rowland wasn’t easy and he had to defend against other strong competitors. Guenther’s victory was Maserati’s first since June last year, showing the team’s progress. Both drivers are optimistic about their performance in future races despite the challenges they faced in Tokyo.”
