This weekend, the coronation of the King Charles III It grabbed all the headlines around the world. Perhaps that is why many things went almost unnoticed. The same day, Elon Musk visited the garage of the team Red Bullwhere he was seen as relaxed talking with the Mexican pilot Sergio Pérez, better known as ‘Czech Perez’before the Miami Grand Prix.
On Saturday May 6, just one day before the long-awaited race, the billionaire Tesla CEO appeared during pre-testing Miami GP. But he was not alone, his little son accompanied him. X Æ A-XII3 years old, one of the businessman’s rare appearances in his role as a father.
Elon Musk met with Red Bull Racing drivers, executives and pit crew, including Checo Pérez and his teammate/rival, max verstappeno. And it seems that they were lucky, because both were crowned champions: the Dutchman in first place and the Mexican in second.
“Yesterday in the pit,” wrote the South African tycoon when sharing a photo of the moment on his Twitter account.
The cameras also caught Elon Musk and Checo Pérez talking, and the Mexican pilot even played with the heir to the richest man in the world.
Can Tesla compete against Checo Pérez, Red Bull and all of F1?
So far it has not been revealed what the 51-year-old billionaire and Sergio talked about, but whatever it was sparked the creativity of the owner of SpaceX. Just a few hours after the meeting, Elon revealed that he wanted to organize a Formula 1 competition between electric and fuel-powered vehicles.
“A fun discussion on aerodynamics and battery technology in F1. I proposed a pure EV (electric car) vs gas/hybrid F1 race,” Musk wrote as reply to a tweet of ESPN.
Maybe one day we will see Tesla compete against engineering powerhouses like Mercedes, McLaren, Aston Martin and Ferrariin addition to Red Bull. Can you imagine the economic benefit that this event would leave? What if Elon Musk builds his own Formula 1 team? Knowing him, anything can happen.
