Nadal: the challenge with electric offshore boats. Rafa’s secrets: he drinks sea water, hates cheese, bad driver

Waiting to debut in the first Grand Slam of the season the Australian Open, Rafa Nadal announces a new challengethis time in the water. In motorboating. The Spanish champion will race in the E1 Series electric offshore championship who will leave this year. Not him directly, but with his team. Who will go to challenge that of the F1 driver Sergio Perez, the Mexican of Red Bull. These are battery-powered motorboats equipped with special wings that allow them to fly over the surface of the sea, reaching top speeds of around 100 km/h.
The idea of Alejandro Agag, founder of Formula E, and of Rodi Bassoa former F1 technician who, among other things, was Rubens Barrichello’s track engineer. Nadal has decided to embrace the project for its impact on environmental sustainability, because in addition to the competitions, the E1 series includes targeted interventions for the protection of coasts, seabeds and basins. Rafa born in Mallorca, like Carlos Duarte, the scientist behind the Blue Action program, consultant to the E1 championship. As a professional athlete, I recognize that marginal gains have a positive impact on performance. “E1 applies this same competitive spirit and approach to optimizing the performance and efficiency of sustainable marine mobility. This is great news for our oceans,” Rafa said. At this point, all that remains is to choose the pilots, and who knows maybe they will bring out a former tennis player.
