Ahead of the 2024 Berlin E-Prix, Maserati MSG Racing is delighted to announce the promotion of Cyril Blais to the role of Deputy Team Principal.
Since joining the team in 2021, then under the guise of Venturi Racing, Cyril has played a critical role in advancing technical innovation and shaping culture in the Monaco-based outfit.
Cyril, who was named as Formula E’s Engineer of the Year last season, was appointed as Maserati MSG Racing’s Chief Engineer in 2023, and his step up to the position of Deputy Team Principal marks a natural career evolution.
Having engineered the team to three victories and 10 podiums – and as the former Technical Director of Arden Motorsport’s FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 programs – Cyril will draw upon a wealth of motorsport knowledge in his new role, reporting to Maserati MSG Racing Managing Partner, José M Aznar Botella.
Alongside Cyril’s promotion, Maserati MSG Racing would also like to confirm the appointment of Bérengère Quaix as Chief Financial Officer, and James Hughes Mulligan to the role of Commercial Director.
“Being promoted to the position of Deputy Team Principal is a huge honour, and I would like to thank Scott and José for entrusting me with this opportunity. While I know that the role will present a fresh challenge, it’s a chance that I’m very excited about. Since joining the team ahead of Season 8, I’ve witnessed our evolution and transformation as an organisation first-hand, and I’m looking forward to building upon our existing foundations to grow even further in the future. After making a strong start to 2024 with a win in Tokyo and a podium at Misano, the level of motivation, determination, and ambition within the team is at an all-time high, and although my promotion has arrived during the season, it won’t change my level of focus or responsibilities on the technical side. I will continue to push hard so we can achieve the best results possible in the second half of the season, and we’re all looking forward to getting back out on track this weekend.”
“I remember when Cyril joined our team as a Race Engineer in Season 8. Very early on, his natural leadership qualities shined through from his side of the garage, and since then, he’s played an integral role in shaping our technical structure, culture, and strong sense of team spirit and identity. With significant knowledge of not just Formula E but motorsport as a whole, Cyril is the perfect fit as Deputy Team Principal, and after seeing the impact he’s made on our whole organisation – especially since 2023 – promoting him to this position was a natural, simple, and very straightforward decision. Cyril has earned this chance through hard work and demonstrating a clear ability to unite the team. With Cyril’s promotion and the new additions to the team in Bérengère and James, we have strengthened key areas within our organisation in order to deliver the best possible performance on and off the track.”
