The Pharaoh, Tom Brady has displayed unparalleled football mastery and created a quarterback legacy. On the other hand, the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal became an unformidable force and remains a living legend in the world of tennis. Now, after bestowing some remarkable contributions upon their own individual fields in the past couple of decades, they might have to go up against each other in a new field.
Rafael Nadal became the owner of one team in the new E1 Championship. Other sports icons such as soccer pro Didier Drogba and F1 star Sergio Perez are also owners of the E1 race team and most recently, Tome Brady joins the club!

E1 Series will be the world’s first all-electric race boat championship with a commitment to sustainability and protection of the waterbodies and coastal areas. Teams will be racing in the waterbodies in several beautiful cities around the world. Considering the investments and support from the entire sports dynasty, this might be the beginning of a new era of racing.
Brady shares, “So excited to be joining the E1 World Championship and honored to be competing against some of the greatest athletes in the world. Throughout my career, I’ve always been synonymous with speed. That’s just what the fans have come to expect.”
El Nino has been recovering from surgery and getting ready to train for the 2024 tennis season. Simultaneously, he has been actively showing his support for the E1 Series. He was very quick to appreciate Tom Brady’s entry and posts a story on Instagram welcoming his future competitor.

Nadal’s academy is the perfect expression of that, creating a better world for future generations and improving the lives of young people”.
