Besides Sergio Perez, these include tennis player Rafael Nadal, former footballer Didier Drogba and former NFL star Tom Brady, as well as DJ Steve Aoki, cricketer Virat Kohli, singer Marc Anthony and Bolivian entrepreneur Marcelo Claure.

They will lead the teams that will compete for the title in seven races. These include races in Venice, Monaco, Hong Kong and Jeddah.
