Esteban Ocon, driver of the Haas F1 Team, attended the premiere of the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, an event that celebrates a special collaboration with the world of Formula 1. Ocon showcased a customized helmet during the races in Belgium and Hungary, designed for the occasion.
Accompanied by his partner, Flavy Barla, the driver walked the red carpet at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London. This event took place just before the global premiere of the film, scheduled for July 31, 2026.
The Frenchman was photographed holding his exclusive helmet, of which only three units have been produced, and he recently confirmed that one of them will be gifted to Tom Holland, the actor who plays Spider-Man.
Ocon shared the evening with other stars of the film and personalities such as Holland, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and Marisa Tomei. This gathering not only symbolizes the union between sports and cinema but also highlights the creativity of the helmet design, incorporating iconic elements from the superhero’s costume.
In a promotional video, Ocon revealed that he aimed to achieve a look that evoked Spider-Man’s suit, including details of the film’s logo and images of the superhero. “We want to do something cool that resembles your suit,” the driver commented.
After this event, Ocon enters the summer break of F1 with a challenging first leg of the 2026 season. He currently occupies the 17th position in the drivers’ championship with only three points. When asked about his future with Haas during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, he maintained a cautious tone and noted that his team would be the first he would talk to in future discussions.
