Maserati MSG Racing gains Misano E-Prix podium after Da Costa disqualification

Maserati MSG Racing driver, Maximilian Günther, has gained a podium finish at the 2024 Misano E-Prix following the disqualification of provisional race winner, Antonio Felix da Costa, after a technical breach.

Da Costa was disqualified from the race after an FIA investigation found that the throttle damper spring on his #13 Porsche 99X Electric was not found to be in conformity with one of three optional declared items.

Max originally finished the first race of the double-header weekend in fourth after starting from seventh, but has moved up to third following Da Costa's disqualification.

As a result, Max moves from fifth to third in the FIA Formula E World Drivers' Championship standings, now holding 63 points. Maserati MSG Racing, meanwhile, continues to hold sixth in the World Teams' Championship.

The 2024 Misano E-Prix race weekend will continue on Sunday, 14 April.
