Tom Brady Rubs Shoulders with Didier Drogba in Monaco as NFL Legend’s Boat Racing Team Takes Top Honors
Tom Brady was spotted socializing with Didier Drogba after his electric boat racing team claimed victory over the Chelsea soccer legend’s team in Monaco.
Both Brady and Drogba are celebrity owners in the electric boat racing world, with their teams competing in the inaugural E1 World Championship. Tennis great Rafael Nadal and F1 star Sergio Perez also have teams participating in the 2024 competition, which kicked off in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in February.
The championship made its way to Monaco, where nine groups battled it out in the fourth race of the season. In the end, Brady’s team emerged victorious, sending them back to the top of the leaderboard after their previous wins in Jeddah and Venice.

Drogba’s team secured a podium place for the first time, finishing second behind Brady’s team. Nadal’s team finished third on the day, despite starting in pole position, which means he has slipped behind Drogba into fifth in the overall standings.
Westbrook Racing, owned by acting superstar Will Smith, currently sits in third place.
After Sunday’s series in Monaco, Drogba was seen congratulating Brady for guiding his team to a third win out of four this season.
‘My boy Sam is unbelievable,’ said the former quarterback, referencing his star man Sam Coleman, a world champion in powerboating.
Brady continues to keep himself busy over a year since he retired from the NFL.

The 46-year-old Brady is set to transition into the world of TV when the new NFL season begins later this year, having signed a staggering 10-year, $375million deal with Fox Sports. He will serve as a lead analyst for the network in the 2024-25 campaign, which gets underway in September.
Drogba, on the other hand, has been a retired athlete for a lot longer than Brady, having hung up his boots back in 2018. The 46-year-old won four Premier League titles and the Champions League across two memorable stints with Chelsea.
