William, an admirer of Esteban Ocon, created the helmet. The 12-year-old adopted the colours of the French, Alpine, and Évreux flags. The French flag and the Alpine are represented by the colours red, white, and blue, Esteban tweeted. Despite the fact that I had trouble drawing it, I liked the flag of Évreux, where you were born. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you William for designing my helmet for my home race. I’m excited to wear it because I adore it.
I’m confident that the atmosphere in the “Esteban Ocon Grandstand” will be fantastic: Ocon
The young Frenchman recently spoke openly to the media about the atmosphere of racing in his homeland. Additionally, he mentioned that he would have a grandstand bearing his name, the “Esteban Ocon Grandstand.”
There isn’t a sensation quite like competing in your own country and witnessing the fervour of the local supporters when you arrive at the circuit or pass by the grandstands, according to him.
Returning to the well-known track Le Castellet is always special: Ocon
The challenging low and medium-speed corners at the Paul Ricard track were then discussed by Esteban Ocon. He also emphasised how a driver must be incredibly adaptive to the different parts of the course that have different requirements.
The driver of the Alpine F1 team is presently in eighth place with 52 points, while Fernando Alonso, another member of the team, is in tenth place with just 29 points.
