Overview
- Formula E, Citroën, Monaco Sports Group and the FIA confirmed Monday that Cyril Blais has died and said they will respect the family’s request for privacy.
- Organisers have scheduled paddock tributes and Citroën will race in Tokyo while the paddock supports staff and drivers through the weekend.
- Blais rose from junior‑category engineering roles to lead the MSG‑run Maserati/Citroën operation and was credited with recent wins in Tokyo and Mexico City.
- He had been overseeing operational moves for the team, including a reported shift toward Stellantis’ Satory facility, but no immediate organisational changes have been announced.
- Reports differ on his age at death and no cause has been released, leaving key factual gaps that teams and officials say they will not comment on out of respect for the family.
