London, 29th October 2024, Team Brady, the E1 team owned by the NFL icon Tom Brady, has been crowned Champions of the Water in the inaugural E1 World Championship, the world’s first all-electric raceboat series. 

Following races across five iconic global cities around the world, including Jeddah, Venice and Monaco, Team Brady won the championship after overcoming strong competition from eight other teams. 

Team Brady faced rival teams owned by international superstars, including tennis champion Rafael Nadal, Hollywood actor Will Smith, Chelsea football legend Didier Drogba, F1's Sergio Perez, global cricket icon Virat Kohli, Grammy-winning artist Marc Anthony, DJ Steve Aoki, and tech billionaire and philanthropist Marcelo Claure. Each of these competitors brought unique influence and ambition to their teams, raising the level of competition and underscoring the significance of Team Brady's victory. 

E1 is part of the Electric 360 partnership created by PIF earlier this year, which focuses on the future of electric mobility. This first-of-its-kind partnership across E1, Formula E and Extreme E will redefine the future of electric racing and drive technological innovation – while leading the way in carbon reduction. 

Competing in the Championship’s RaceBird, a futuristic electric powerboat that utilizes innovative hydrofoil technology, Team Brady overcame challenges from Will Smith’s Westbrook Racing and Marc Anthony’s Team Miami powered by Magnus who finished in second and third place respectively.

Team Brady powered to Championship victory after posting three wins across the season – finishing the first-ever season with an 11-point lead over their nearest rival. 

The team, piloted by Welshman Sam Coleman and Finn Emma Kimiläinen, proved the most effective at taming the RaceBird in the debut sport with no precedent.
