When Esteban Ocon brings the Ballon d'Or in Alpine F1

Parisians living near the Théâtre du Châtelet are still shaken by it. We had warned them of the organization of the Ballon d'Or ceremony this Monday, October 17, but not how the trophy would be delivered.

Like the previous year, Alpine, as a partner of the event, had the responsibility of delivering the trophy weighing 15 kg. In 2021, Fernando Alonso et Esteban Ocon had landed in Alpine A110 S. This time, the arrival of the French driver was much more resonant, since he sat in a Lotus E21 from 2013, the last F1 to be equipped with a motor Renault Atmospheric V8, adorned with the colors of its Alpine A522 of 2022:

The Ballon d'Or installed above the central air box, on the location of the T-cam, held up the shock, since the winner of the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix was content to accomplish a few dozen meters in burn.

In any case, this is a funny nod to the 2022 recipient of the Ballon d'Or, Karim Benzema. The Real Madrid striker made a tackle on his compatriot Olivier Giroud duringa live on Instagram in 2020: We do not confuse F1 with karting. And I'm nice. Now, next. I don't even talk about him anymore. I know I am F1. »
