Early Career

Born in Oberstdorf in 1997, Günther began his racing career in karts at the age of 10. After three years, the German driver progressed to the world of open-wheel racing in 2011 in the Formula BMW Talent Cup. In 2013, Günther competed in ADAC Formel Masters from ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg e.V., ending the season second.

Günther made his debut in the 2015 European Formula 3 campaign with Mucke Motorsport before joining Prema Powerteam in 2016 and 2017. In 2017, he finished a respectable fifth at the legendary Macau Grand Prix before moving up to Formula 2 in 2018, joining BWT Arden.

Formula E Debut

Fresh from a season in Formula 2 with BWT Arden, Günther debuted in Formula E with Dragon after serving as the team's reserve driver in the 2017/18 season. Prior to joining the championship full-time a year later with BMW i Andretti Motorsport, the German took part in the Formula E Rookie Test in Marrakesh, 2018.

After running as the team's test and reserve driver, Günther competed in 10 E-Prix with Dragon during his maiden campaign in 2018/19, finishing 17th in the Drivers' running and impressing with two Super Pole appearances.

BMW i Andretti Motorsport took the young Bavarian on full-time in Season 6,, and he pipped then teammate Alexander Sims in the Drivers' Championship, finishing ninth, with breakthrough victories in Santiago and Round 8 from Tempelhof. The German's four non-finishes - including the loss of a podium in Diriyah for overtaking under the safety car - ultimately hampered his outright finishing position but his impressive performances yielded a second season with the BMW manufacturer squad in Season 7 - Formula E's first as an FIA World Championship.

Formula E | Season 8 - 10

For Season 8, the young German headed to Nissan e.dams alongside veteran Sebastien Buemi. His campaign mirrored the Swiss's, with neither driver challenging the front-runners; Günther's best was an eighth in London for 19th overall.

Günther’s skills were picked up by Maserati MSG Racing for Season 9. The Italian manufacturer’s debut as a Formula E team was run by the outfit behind vice-champions Venturi, with the outfit opting to pair Günther with the experienced Edoardo Mortara. In what was a middle-of-the-road debut for the Maserati, Günther led the charge, picking up multiple podiums and a win in the process, taking him to seventh in the standings.

Season 10 saw Maserati and Günther continue their journey, with the Bavarian driver partnering rookie Jehan Daruvala. Günther has continued his consistent run of form, scoring points in the opening six rounds of the season, which included a win in Tokyo followed by third in the opening race in Misano.

Formula E | Season 11 - 12

Season 11 and the GEN3 Era beckoned, and with that, Günther moved to DS PENSKE, but the German continued his winning ways after changing to black and gold. He's immortalised himself in Formula E history by taking the first-ever victory in a PIT BOOST race, another victory of his that came on the very last lap. Güntther then led a DS PENSKE 1-2 in Shanghai, with former team Jean-Eric Vergne joining him on the podium.

Günther sticks with DS PENSKE for Season 12, but finds himself joined by Taylor Barnard for the second year of the GEN3 Evo.
