Maserati MSG Racing driver Jake Hughes may not be having an ideal Formula E season, but the British racer has a lot to look forward to in Shanghai at the upcoming double header. He had secured second place on the podium in part of the 2024 Shanghai E-Prix, giving him added confidence to aim high in the upcoming race.
He earned that podium while driving for NEOM McLaren last year, before making the switch to Maserati MSG.
Jake Hughes's performance this season
Jake Hughes has participated in just 40 races so far and has already claimed two podium finishes, including one at the Jeddah E-Prix earlier this year. He currently stands fifteenth in the Formula E Driver Standings with 27 points. He finished tenth in the Mexico Round 2 race and fifth in Jeddah Round 3 before securing a podium in Round 4 in Jeddah.
Since then, however, his on-track performance has seen a decline.
At the recently held Tokyo E-Prix double header this month, Hughes finished last in both Round 8 and Round 9 races. Sharing a slow-motion video of himself in a helmet days after the race, Hughes wrote on Instagram, 'Japan was a rough one. Fast in all practice sessions but qualifying really curtailed our whole weekend. But some positive signs at least that will hopefully be turning our season around very shortly.

Boosting his morale, the official Formula E Instagram handle commented on his post: 'Onto Shanghai,' along with the raising hands emoji.
During the Tokyo E-Prix, Hughes also shared several pictures of his Maserati MSG livery on the wet track, captioned: 'Wetter than a pocket full of Otters.' Heavy rain affected the first Round 8 race, which followed a grid order determined by free practice results.

Now, all he needs is to replicate the success he found in Jeddah. Rounds 10 and 11 of the FIA Formula E World Championship 2025 are scheduled for May 31 and June 1. Good luck to Jake Hughes!
