The house of the Trident is getting a taste of it. There Maserati, after having officially announced in recent days its return in grand style in competitions with the entry into the Formula E championship which will take place in 2023, it is looking around and does not exclude a sensational ‘approach’ also to the queen category of four-wheel motorsport : the Formula 1. At the moment we are only talking about remote possibilities, but the fact that the option is not completely off the table is already news that can only please the fans of the Modena brand and all fans of the Circus.
The Italian manufacturer has participated in 11 F1 championships in its history, at the dawn of the category. The balance between 1950 and 1960 is extremely flattering and shines two drivers’ world titles, both with Juan Manuel Fangio (even if the first was won by the Argentine in ‘cohabitation’ with Mercedes), nine wins, 37 podiums and 10 pole positions. Respectable numbers that, who knows, could also be updated in the near future. The CEO Davide Grasso, when questioned on the subject, he showed himself to be a possibility. As reported by the site GPFans in fact, Grasso himself recalled the glorious history in motorsport of the brand he represents, leaving a glimmer in view of the introduction of the new engines, scheduled for 2025.
“Us in F1? You mean in that other championship which is led by my friend Stefano Domenicali? – joked Grasso – only time will tell. But Formula 1 is the ‘premier class’, the most important championship for racing cars, a great competition. Maserati was there at the start and won the world championship with Juan Manuel Fangio. So the question is not out of place, but it is also not relevant at the moment. Formula E should be our first step “he concluded.
