Stoli Group, the leading global ultra-luxury spirits and wines company, today announced a rebrand of their partnership with the Formula E Team Maserati MSG Racing, switching the focus from elit™ Vodka to Stoli Vodka.
Looking to the future, Stoli Vodka, together with Maserati MSG Racing, will celebrate their shared values in the pursuit of progress and positive change with a focus on sustainability. With their campaign: Liberate the Winning Spirit, Stoli Vodka will inspire consumers to make the world a better place.
Damian McKinney, Global CEO of Stoli Group, commented: “We are delivering one vision and one mission: to establish the most powerful and sustainable ultra-luxury spirits and wines portfolio by 2025. To that end, we are thrilled to sponsor Maserati MSG Racing.
“We are proud to have a partner that boldly matches our sustainability vision in innovative ways, and on multiple fronts. While a successful sustainable journey can’t be achieved alone, together we can make a lasting difference.
“Maserati MSG Racing and the Stoli Group are united in prioritising quality without compromising the planet.”
Maserati MSG Racing is one of only a handful of teams who race in Formula E and hold a Three-Star FIA Environmental Accreditation. Founded upon pioneering spirit the team is committed to driving environmental and social change through innovation.
Alongside encouraging the switch to clean mobility, the team champions under-represented groups in pursuit of a sustainable and inclusive future.
James Rossiter, Team Principal, Maserati MSG Racing, added: “We continue to be immensely proud of our partnership with the Stoli Group. It’s no secret that our partners are an essential component of our team – simply put, we couldn’t race without you.
“What sets us apart though, and makes our team and our collaborations so special, is that we focus on partnerships with purpose. Together in Season 8, we made a tangible impact by standing united. We showed what was possible when you utilise your platform for good and people notice.
“Working with such committed and passionate partners is a privilege and a joy for us and we look forward to many more successful seasons together.”
Welcoming Maserati in their role as the team’s new powertrain supplier and title partner heralds an exciting new era for Formula E and the series’ Gen3 ruleset.
Every aspect of Gen3 production has been rethought, redesigned and rebuilt to ensure the car sets the benchmark for high-performance, sustainable racing without compromise. For example, natural materials have been introduced to tyres, batteries and bodywork construction with life cycle thinking at the core.
Ahead of testing in Valencia, the team revealed a new driver and key personnel line-up for Season 9 of the FIA ABB Formula E World Championship, with Maximilian Günther joining Edoardo Mortara and James Rossiter named as Team Principal.
From Season 9, Stoli® Vodka will adopt a central position in Maserati MSG Racing’s new visual identity, with branding appearing on the front of the airduct, chassis, mirrors, rear wing, and nose of the team’s new livery.
