Beaming Brooklyn Beckham braves the rain as he walks Miami race track with pal Mitch Evans ahead of Formula E – after teasing new career

Brooklyn Beckham braved the rain on Tuesday as he walked the Miami race track with his pal Mitch Evans, ahead of the Formula E Evo Sessions at Miami International Autodrome. 

The son of Victoria and David Beckham, 25, looked in high spirits despite the drizzly weather.

He wore a Jaguar TCS Racing polo shirt, baggy jeans, and strolled alongside his 30-year-old friend Mitch, a professional racing driver. 

Later, Brooklyn layered up with a black Jaguar TCS Racing zip-up and donned casual Adidas trainers. 

To complete his look, Brooklyn wore a black baseball cap backwards and accessorized with a gold wristwatch. 

During his outing, he was seen chatting with a member of the racing team, getting pointers ahead of the Formula E event.

Just last week, Brooklyn humorously poked fun at his many career paths by teasing a new role as a racing driver in a promotional video. 

The designer, who has ventured into pH๏τography and recently into the culinary world, appears to be embracing his reputation in the video for Jaguar TCS Racing and Formula E. 

Formula E, officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, is an open-wheel single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars.

Last month, Brooklyn announced that he would participate in an initiative from the sport, where 11 influencers will compete to help raise Formula E’s profile. 

The initiative aims to engage younger audiences by pairing public figures like Brooklyn and former Man City striker-turned-content creator Sergio Agüero with professional racing teams. 

The hope is that it will boost the sport’s popularity, especially among younger fans. 

In the promo video, an interviewer asks: ‘So Brooklyn, you’re training to be a racing driver now?’

Smirking slightly, Brooklyn then replies saying: ‘Yeah it has kind of taken over my life really.’

He went on to joke: ‘Sitting down has really taken on a whole new meaning’ – as he sat in a chair in the position of a low down race car.

He adds: ‘Also I’m always looking for that overtake’, – as he watches a race and sarcastically exclaims: ‘Wow!’

Showcasing one of his current career ventures he adds: ‘It’s even taken over my cooking’ – as a bowl he’s shaking turns into a steering wheel. 

At the end of the video he says ᴅᴇᴀᴅ pan to the camera: ‘I just keep reflecting on winning. I’m so ready! Let’s go racing!’ 

Brooklyn captioned the post on Instagram: ‘I’m a racing driver. & EVO Sessions have taken over my life. Next stop: Miami. Let’s see if practice makes perfect on track!’

After his time in Arsenal’s academy, Brooklyn – who is married to American actress Nicola Peltz – has worked as a model and influencer, securing brand endorsement deals. He has also ventured into pH๏τography and cooking. 

With 16 million followers on Instagram, Brooklyn is paid for his partnership with Formula E, while Agüero boasts 30 million followers. 

The electric vehicles used in Formula E can reach speeds of 200 mph and accelerate 30 percent faster than traditional F1 cars. 

Each influencer, including Brooklyn, is paired with a professional team and driver, undergoing six weeks of training before racing at the Miami circuit on March 5-6.

This training includes sessions on a driving simulator and dedicated physical preparation from the professionals. 

Opening up about his new venture to BBC Sport last month, Brooklyn explained why he has taken the plunge into Formula E.

‘Like my dad, I’ve always been obsessed with driving,’ he said. ‘It’s getting more people to experience Formula E and the more people who do [see it], the more people will understand.’

‘Formula One has been going on for a lot longer, the world is changing, so I think [Formula E] definitely has a chance to come close to it.’

While Brooklyn is a long-time fan of the sport, he admitted he hasn’t told Nicola about his new racing plans yet. 

Despite expecting some negative reactions, Brooklyn sees this as an exciting opportunity to bring Formula E to a broader audience. 

‘When this comes out, people are going to think that I’m going to try and become an F1 driver,’ he added. ‘They think I’m going to change careers again. But people will understand and realise how mentally tough this sport is.

‘These guys in these cars are just so talented. I’m just really excited to meet them and be a part of this.’

Meanwhile, Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds expressed his excitement at the plans, highlighting how using the influencers to ‘elevate’ the sport’s profile made sense. 

He also refuted claims that a collaboration like this would diminish the skills and effort required to be successful Formula E, insisting that ‘it’s not a gimmick’

And, despite the sport being yet to take off in the UK and posting a loss of £36m last year, Dodds is confident that it can overtake MotoGP as the second most popular motorsport by 2030.
