Difficult end to a strong Season 11 for Nissan Formula E Team in London
Nissan Formula E Team had a tough weekend at the season finale of a strong 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Racing in a special teal-blue livery to celebrate the launch of the new Nissan LEAF, Norman Nato secured points on Saturday and Rowland fought at the front on Sunday before an incident forced the Brit to Round 15 on Saturday, Nato put in a promising performance to earn a top-10 finish. The Frenchman started 16th but quickly made his way up the order, consistently showing competitive pace and gaining seven places to come ninth. In the #23 car, recently crowned Season 11 World Champion Oliver Rowland lined up in 12th. However, damage from contact during the E-Prix hampered his progress, with the Brit ending up just over a second off a points finish in a frustrating first race of the weekend, the team worked hard and was fully focused on the final round of the season, with an opportunity to still clinch both the Teams' and Manufacturers' titles. Both drivers narrowly missed out on the Duels in qualifying, lining up side-by-side in ninth and 10th. Early contact forced Nato to pit, but once he re-joined at the back of the pack he battled his way up to 11th, finishing under a second off the top-10. In the #23 car, Rowland made great early progress from 10th on the grid, swiftly moving up the order. However, the Brit had an incident while in the podium positions, which brought his race to a premature E now enters its off-season after another entertaining campaign, which saw Nissan Formula E Team secure four pole positions, and seven podiums including four wins. An incredible campaign from Oliver Rowland meant he clinched the Drivers' title at the previous event in Berlin with two races to go, while the Japanese squad also took its best finish in the Teams' Championship since the automaker fully took over the team by claiming third, with Nissan also taking third as a constructor in the Manufacturers' Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: 'It's of course disappointing to finish third in both the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships after leading them for parts of the season. However, if we take a step back, we can be very proud with this amazing year. We've achieved seven podiums and four victories, we've secured the Drivers' Championship with two races to go, and we were in the fight for the Teams' and Manufacturers' until the very last race. We've been competitive throughout and we've matured together as a team. And our mistakes and anything that didn't go our way during this campaign will help us to be even stronger next season.'Oliver Rowland, driver, Nissan Formula E Team: 'We struggled for pace a bit on Saturday and then got stuck behind other cars after our Pit Boost stop. It's tough to overtake here and then I suffered contact, which denied me the chance of scoring points. On Sunday we had a better qualifying and I was able to race at the front, before an incident ended my race. It's been a difficult weekend but, overall, Season 11 has been a remarkable one. It's a dream come true to be World Champion and to collect the trophy! This will give us great motivation in the off-season to continue to improve and come back even better next season.' Norman Nato, driver, Nissan Formula E Team: 'I felt like we maximized performance on Saturday by gaining seven places to take ninth. I was pleased to score points and hoped to do the same on Sunday. However, after a strong start an incident happened right in front of me which I couldn't avoid, resulting in damage that meant I had to pit. We managed to come back through the field just missing out on points in 11th. It was a disappointing weekend in general, but everyone has done an amazing job this season to have us fighting for the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships until the very end. It's part of the journey with the team, and we know that the squad can perform even better in the future.'

Maserati Corse announces 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection': the new collection dedicated to racing enthusiasts
The collaboration between Maserati and Sparco continues, as part of Maserati Corse. The two brands, outstanding Italian undertakings in the world of performance and innovation, have launched the new 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection' line of clothing and accessories, to convey the Trident's competitive racing spirit even away from the track and into its fans' everyday lives. The collection is made foe fans and inspired by champions; there could be no better setting for its launch than the GT World Challenge 2025 stage at the Misano circuit, the perfect venue for the Trident's 'home race' as part of the GT2 European Series calendar, between the Maserati GT2s that have racked up successes and the MCXtrema that has captured the attention of all comers to the paddock. The new capsule collection forms an integral part of the partnership launched last year, which has already led to the creation of the 'Maserati Corse Replica' and 'MCXtrema' Racing Kits, complete with suits, helmets, shoes, gloves and technical accessories. Therefore, having kitted out drivers and teams, the two brands have now decided to involve the general public by creating the 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection', to transfer the spirit of the track into everyday life. Specifically, the new line offers distinctive and functional garments that adapt perfectly to every season: from blue and white T-shirts to blue and yellow sweatshirts, from the technical softshell jacket to the ultra-resistant backpack with adjustable shoulder straps and external and internal pockets, all the way to the inevitable baseball caps. The basis of the partnership is the shared principles that mark the excellence of both brands, including artisanship, constant research, the quality of materials and the prestige of Made in Italy. All the products in the new collection bear the colours and logos of Maserati Corse and feature a high level of design and quality, exclusively reflecting the identity and design of the House of the Trident and that unmistakable technical elegance that distinguishes both Maserati, synonymous with high-performance Italian luxury globally, and Sparco, a world leader in the field of technical clothing and motorsport equipment. From the stands to the starting grid. Each garment and accessory in the 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection' thus serves as a bridge between spectators and team, between performance and identity, as a tangible sign of belonging for all those who share the same passion for racing and who wish to proudly wear a genuine emblem of a legendary brand that for almost a century has echoed the roar of its cars on circuits all over the world. Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse, stated: 'As Maserati enthusiasts are well aware, our brand was founded on the racetrack and is characterised by an intrinsic vocation for performance. With Sparco, we share a vision based on excellence, innovation and Italian style. To follow the professional racing kits, we wanted to offer garments and accessories that maintain the same spirit of our racing cars and our drivers. This collection represents an authentic extension of the Maserati Corse world, in its natural environment of the track for almost 100 years." Niccolò Bellazzini, Sparco Brand Manager, added: 'Together with Maserati, we share a vision deeply rooted in Italian tradition and common values of design, performance, comfort and elegance. With the new fan collection, we wanted to reflect the meeting of these two personalities, bringing back the visual identity of Maserati Corse in a line tailor-made for anyone wishing to express their passion in everyday life, even off the track."
