Duracell is launching a "Power Paddock" event in Austin, Texas, to celebrate the upcoming Formula 1 weekend. The battery manufacturer is collaborating with Amazon for the "high-power, pre-race party," scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 21, at Brazos Hall. The event is designed to engage fans and build excitement for the racing festivities.
The "Power Paddock" will feature a variety of racing-themed attractions, including a simulated "Battery Bull" ride, a "High Stakes Horseshoe Toss" game, and a "Power Boost Slam" challenge.

Atlassian Williams F1 Team driver Alex Albon is also scheduled to make a special appearance.
According to Duracell, the partnership with Amazon allows the brand to connect directly with consumers.
