Ball Thrown in Tom Brady & Rafael Nadal’s Courts as Red Bull Star Sergio Perez Announces Dream Team

What do Sergio Perez, Rafael Nadal, and Tom Brady have in common? Well, as of recently, the three will battle it in open seas in an all-new exciting electronic racing series. The Red Bull man diversified and put his hard-earned money into an E1 team recently. Now, to take things one step further, Perez has announced his racers for his team in the E1 Series.

Still not aware of what we’re talking about? Well, let us give you an introduction. The E1 Series is the first electric raceboat championship sanctioned by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the world governing body of powerboating. The idea behind the series is to create a new on-water racing competition with clean tech to safeguard the environment. Perez bought into and so did Rafael Nadal and Tom Brady and became one of the 8 in the series. Now, Perez has announced his drivers for the series.

Perez has come on the other side of a two-man team after being a racer for almost all his life. The Mexican announced his driver lineup for his team called Tea Mexico to complete his team before they can focus on racing. The season starts in February 2024 which will give the team plenty of time to get acquainted.

So the two drivers who will be representing Team Mexico on the open seas will be Dani Clos and Vicky Piria. Clos is a 35-year-old Spanish race car driver who was also a test driver for the now-defunct HRT F1 team.

Clos will drive alongside Vicky Piria, a 30-year-old Italian-British race who raced in the Formula Renault Eurocup and now-defunct W Series. The two race car drivers will take on the seas representing Perez’s team.
