Maserati has announced who will be filling the role of Deputy Team Principal ahead of this weekend’s Berlin E-Prix double-header.
Maserati has officially promoted Cyril Blais to become the team’s Deputy Team Principal, based in Monte-Carlo. Blais took on the role after James Rossiter left ahead of Season 10 and had been handling the team’s media duties. He first joined the team in 2021 when they were known as Venturi and later became their chief engineer during the Gen3 era, earning Formula E’s Engineer of the Year title last season. Blais views his new position as a “huge honour” and is excited about the fresh challenge it brings. Despite a challenging off-season, Maserati has seen success in 2024 with strong performances from driver Maximilian Günther. Blais remains focused on maintaining the team’s high level of performance for the rest of the season and is looking forward to upcoming races.
