Which Celeb’s Team Will Win the E1 Championship?
The electric-boat league will crown a new winner this weekend.
The Bombay Sapphire E1 Miami Grand Prix, taking place on Biscayne Bay on November 13 and 14, will determine this season’s champions. Teams backed by A-listers including Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, Will Smith, Marc Anthony, LeBron James, and Steve Aoki will compete in two races on consecutive days, marking the championship’s first double-header.
“This is set to be an incredible finale to the 2026 Championship and a landmark weekend for E1 as we stage our first double-header,” E1 C.E.O. Jamie Copas said in a statement. “ With two races on consecutive days, there is still much to play for as teams look to finish the season on a high.”
Team Brady, which won the opening two E1 world titles in 2024 and 2025, respectively, looks particularly strong heading into the championship showdown. Pilots Emma Kimiläinen and Sam Coleman have been on the podium at every round this year, securing 157 points for the team.

That’s not to say Team Brady has it in the bag. Will Smith’s Westbrook Racing is trailing 40 points behind, but could still clinch the championship. Pilots Sara Price and Lucas Ordóñez, who have notched 82 points throughout the season, will have to need to return to the winning form they had earlier in the races and sweep the weekend to become victors.
As for who comes next, Steve Aoki’s Aoki Racing Team sit third with 86 points, while LeBron’s Team AlUla are just two points further back. A podium finish would be especially meaningful for Aoki, given the DJ was born in Miami.
“Amazing to see my team tearing it up in my home race again,” adds Aoki. “We fought all season to get our way into the Championship top three, and there’s no better place to finish the season strong than in front of a Miami crowd.”
Those in Miami can watch the E1 RaceBirds “fly” across the water from the E1 Ocean Club. Title partner Bombay Sapphire is also holding an exclusive race-day celebration on a private Team Brady yacht docked at the Ocean Club. (Passes for E1 Ocean Club are available through Fever.) Fans at home across the U.S. can watch all the racing action on CBS Sports. (For those abroad, check out how to watch here.)
