Ahead of this week’s Las Vegas GP, Esteban Ocon and Charles Leclerc spent a few days in Los Angeles where the pair took in a Lakers game.
But the thrill of the courtside seats was undoubtedly matched by the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet LeBron James and share a moment off the court with the NBA legend.
In a gesture that merged the realms of Formula 1 and basketball, Ocon presented LeBron with a unique gift and a token of his racing prowess - one of his own race helmets.
The exchange not only showcased the genuine camaraderie between these elite athletes but also underscored the universal language of admiration that transcends the boundaries of their respective sports.
