Brooklyn Beckham has revealed that his wife, Nicola Peltz, is “worried” after his decision to step away from his cooking career to pursue motorsport racing. The 26-year-old has decided to take on the thrill of racing, competing in Formula E’s Evo Sessions at the Miami International Autodrome.
Brooklyn, coached by racing star Mitch Evans, will drive the new GEN3 Evo race car, capable of reaching speeds of 0-60mph in just 1.82 seconds. Despite his enthusiasm, those closest to Brooklyn have expressed understandable concern about the dangers involved.
Nicola’s initial reaction
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Brooklyn admitted Nicola, 29, initially had reservations about his new venture. He said: “She was a little bit worried, and then she saw me in my race outfit and was like, ‘you should do this as a job, you look really good.'”
Brooklyn added that despite her worries, Nicola found his racing attire very appealing. He explained: “She was worried but after she saw me and I got out of the car, she was like ‘you look really sexy.'”
Parents’ shared concerns

“My dad was just like, ‘be careful,'” Brooklyn said. “But obviously it’s something that me and my dad have bonded over, over the years. You know, we’re both into cars and both into racing so he was really excited.”
David wasn’t the only parent voicing concern. Brooklyn revealed Victoria had similar worries, saying: “My mum was exactly the same; she was like ‘be careful but have fun.'”
