Sergio Aguero is swapping goalposts for the grid—and his next challenge is behind the wheel of Porsche’s all-electric Formula E machine.
The Manchester City legend and Premier League’s third-highest all-time goalscorer is set to trade in his boots for a racing suit as he competes in the Formula E Evo Sessions event in Miami next month.
🚗 Coached by reigning Formula E champion Pascal Wehrlein, Aguero will put his reflexes and precision to the test on the Miami International Autodrome, the same circuit that hosts F1’s Miami Grand Prix.
Aguero’s Excitement: “From Footballer to Racing Driver”
The Argentinian superstar, who defined an era of Premier League dominance for Manchester City, is pumped for his latest venture:
🗣️ “This is absolutely crazy: from footballer to racing driver in one of the fastest racing cars in the world.”
🗣️ “Every child is familiar with Porsche. The brand represents an iconic heritage, particularly in motorsport.”
Aguero is eager to learn the ropes and make his mark:
🗣️ “I want to learn as much as possible on my journey to Miami, and to represent the team as well as possible when we get there.”
Formula E Evo Sessions: The Star-Studded Miami Event
🔹 What is it? A celebrity-based racing showdown designed to introduce high-profile figures to the world of electric racing.
🔹 When? March 5-6, 2025.
🔹 Where? Miami International Autodrome—the same track that hosts F1’s Miami Grand Prix.
🔹 Why? A TV documentary will capture the entire journey, from fitness training to simulator work and the on-track battles.
Aguero won’t be the only big name taking part.
📌 Brooklyn Beckham (son of David Beckham) will represent Jaguar TCS Racing under the guidance of Formula E star Mitch Evans.
📌 Harry Potter star Tom Felton will also compete, with one mystery participant still to be revealed.
The event fills a gap in the Formula E calendar, which was left open after the Thailand E-Prix was canceled due to political unrest—mirroring last season’s Hyderabad E-Prix cancellation.
Can Aguero Adapt from Football to Formula E?
⚡ Precision, agility, and split-second decision-making—Aguero had all of these on the pitch. Now, he’ll have to apply them on the track.
⚡ With limited time to prepare, Aguero’s ability to handle the speed and complexity of an all-electric race car will be put to the test.
⚡ Pascal Wehrlein’s coaching will be crucial—if Aguero adapts quickly, he could become a surprise standout in this star-studded grid.
