The Formula 1 pilot Esteban Ocon is already back behind the wheel of an Alpine, while his contract with the stable is finished.
Esteban Ocon is one of the three French pilots in Formula 1. Grand Prix winner and several times on the podium, he had to leave the French Alpine stable even before the end of last season to join a new challenge with the American team Haas (which was a long time the “house” of Romain Grosjean) for the 2025 season.
The departure of the French was made in poor conditions, because according to some information, Flavio Briatore (Executive Advisor of Alpine) summoned Esteban Ocon in his office before the GP of Qatar and informed him that he would not release him Not for the end -of -season test with Haas, unless he prematurely gives in his boat. Something he was forced to do to everyone’s surprise in the paddock.
However, you will see French again in a car from the Alpine brand and it happens on the Netflix streaming platform! On February 12, Esteban Ocon will make an appearance in the film “Honeymoon with my mother”, with Michèle Laroque and Kad Merad in the casting. And it will be behind the wheel of an alpine, the A110S dating from 2022. It will make a brief appearance that may surprise certain fans.
The synopsis will revolve around a groom, released on the altar by his promise for another (Esteban Ocon). The young man then nevertheless decides to go on a honeymoon, with his mother. The story highlights a fairly atypical mother -son relationship carried by the duo Michèle Laroque – Julien Frison who promises certain tasty scenes.
This is not the first time that Formula 1 pilots have been honored on Netflix. Even if the appearance of Esteban Ocon is quite brief and rather funny behind the wheel of an Alpine, knowing that it is no longer contractually linked to the French brand, the platform likes pilots and shows it in the series Drive to survive For several years or with the series around Ayrton Senna.
Esteban Ocon has already made appearances far enough from Formula 1 in recent seasons. This is particularly the case with the Troupe des Enfoirés since 2023. It is perhaps through this experience that he exchanged with the two actors Kad Merad and Michèle Laroque that he therefore found the time of an ephemeral shoot .
