He scored his maiden podium in only his second race and went on to claim his first F2 victory in the Silverstone sprint race. For the final round of the season in Abu Dhabi, he was replaced by Red Bull junior driver Dan Ticktum.

Günther switched to Maserati MSG Racing for the 2022–23 season, partnering Edoardo Mortara in a seat vacated by Nyck de Vries' decision to switch to the AlphaTauri team in F1.[19][20] His campaign started out disappointingly, as an eleventh place in Mexico City was followed by a crash in qualifying for the first race in Diriyah, after which the car could not be repaired in time for the race.[21] Günther failed to score points until the Berlin ePrix, where a last-corner overtake on Sébastien Buemi earned him a place on the rostrum.[22] He finished sixth the following day, having started from 21st, before retiring at Monaco as a result of a collision with Dan Ticktum.[23][24] In Jakarta, the German experienced his best Formula E weekend to date, scoring pole for both races, finishing third on Saturday ahead of a dominant win on Sunday, Maserati's first in single-seater competition since the 1957 German Grand Prix.[25][26] He took one further podium in Rome and ended the year seventh in the championship.[27]
2023–24 season
Günther remained with
FIA World Endurance Championship
In 2022 Günther drove an endurance racing car for the first time, driving the Peugeot 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar during the post-season test at the Bahrain International Circuit.[29]
