Esteban Ocon has never hidden his reverence for F1 legend Michael Schumacher, an adulation that goes as far back as the birth of the Alpine's driver's passion for racing.
During his formative years in the sport, in the ranks of karting, Ocon purposefully opted to race with a Schumacher-inspired helmet, a symbol he said the spurred him on.
For this weekend's round of racing at the Italian Grand Prix, a race won five times by Schumacher, Ocon has gone back to his roots with his head gear, sporting a lid once again inspirited with the memory of the German ace.
A special helmet for a special race, inspired by my hero Michael 🇮🇹❤️ I hope you like it as much as I do! 🤩
