Maserati has announced that both Maximilian Günther and Jehan Daruvala will be leaving the team, following the conclusion of the Formula E season. 

Günther spent two seasons with the Monaco-based outfit and has been linked to a move to DS Penske, according to reports. 

The German driver enjoyed an impressive season which saw him claim victory in the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix. In the end, Günther ended the campaign eighth in the drivers' championship. 

It is expected he will complete a swap with outgoing DS Penske driver Stoffel Vandoorne. Günther addressed his departure on social media and thanked Maserati for the past two seasons.

On Instagram, Günther wrote: "Grazie mille Maserati MSG Racing! - This past weekend marked my last race for the legendary trident.

"I want to thank the entire team for all their hard work, support, and friendship over the past two years.

"Two wins, six podiums, and countless memories. It has been a great chapter of my career and a lot of fun, too.

"I also want to thank the fans who have supported us along the way and hope you will continue to join me on my journey! I will announce my upcoming plans in Formula E with you soon..."

On the other side of the garage, Daruvala is likely set for a season without a seat in Formula E, following a difficult rookie season. 

Formula E is notoriously tough for rookie drivers, with the Indian driver having only scored eight points. 

This had a huge impact on Maserati's teams' championship standings, as it ended the campaign in a disappointing eighth. 

Confirming the exit of Günther and Daruvala's departures, Maserasti team principal Jose M Aznar wrote: “On behalf of the team I would like to sincerely thank Max and Jehan for the work they have put in over the course of Season 10.

"Since joining the team in 2022, Max has played a critical role in our development and has been responsible for some of our biggest achievements in Formula E’s Gen3 era so far. Being a rookie in this championship is not easy however Jehan showed his speed over one lap right from the second round in Saudi Arabia.

"He was consistently quick in qualifying and towards the second half of the season he was regularly challenging for points. It has been a pleasure to watch Max and Jehan grow as part of our team, and we wish them nothing but the best for the future.”
