"Team Monaco shares the values and ambitions of my Foundation, which is committed to preserving the oceans. Beyond sporting performance, participating in the UIM E1 World Championship presented by PIF is a great opportunity to raise public awareness about ocean protection. As we approach the first race of the (2026 UIM E1 World Championship presented by PIF) season, I would like to offer my full support to the team led by Maxime Nocher and his co-pilot Oban Duncan, the youngest in the E1 Series.
True to its visionary spirit, Monaco supports innovation and initiatives promoting cleaner technology for the oceans. I look forward to watching Team Monaco's first race in Jeddah, which promises to be an exciting and adrenaline-filled event."
