Sergio Perez Confirms Driver Line-Up for Electric Speedboat Racing Series
Red Bull driver Sergio Perez has solidified his plans for the future with the announcement of the driver line-up for his team, Team Mexico, in the UIM E1 World Championship, a new electric speedboat racing series. The team will feature Spanish driver Dani Clos, a former test driver for the HRT F1 team, and Italian-British racer Vicky Piria, known for her recent participation in the W-Series.
The UIM E1 World Championship aims to promote environmentally friendly racing, focusing on clean mobility and ecosystem restoration while raising awareness about climate change. The series has attracted notable personalities from various sports, including tennis star Rafael Nadal and former NFL player Tom Brady.
While Perez is venturing into the electric speedboat racing series, he remains committed to his Formula 1 obligations with Red Bull. The Mexican driver is gearing up for the upcoming F1 season, where he aims to compete fiercely against his teammate Max Verstappen for the world championship. The UIM E1 World Championship is set to kick off in February 2024, providing an exciting addition to Perez’s diverse racing endeavors.
Nadal and Brady Join Electric Speedboat Racing Project
In addition to Red Bull driver Sergio Perez, other notable sporting celebrities, including tennis sensation Rafael Nadal and former NFL star Tom Brady, have joined the UIM E1 World Championship, an electric speedboat racing series. The project aims to promote environmentally friendly racing, focusing on clean mobility and raising awareness about climate change.
While Perez is a key figure in this initiative, he won’t be able to dedicate his full concentration to the series, given his busy schedule leading up to the new Formula 1 campaign. The F1 season begins around the same time as the UIM E1 World Championship, starting in February 2024.
Perez will be focused on preparing for the F1 season, where he aims to challenge his Red Bull teammate, Max Verstappen, in the battle for the world championship. The involvement of multiple sporting icons adds excitement and star power to the electric speedboat racing project.
