THE
FIGARO.
- How did you experience this first participation in Les Enfoirés?
Esteban OCON.
-
I wondered a little what I was doing there (laughs).
It was very special to find myself alongside people I have seen on television since I was little, whether it was Kad Merad, Amel Bent or Garou to name a few.
We had a great time both on stage and backstage chatting.
It's a cause close to my heart so when I was asked to join the troupe, I didn't hesitate for a second.
It represents an incredible experience, I am very proud of it and I hope that I could continue with them for a long time.
Canal+ has announced that it will pay particular attention to your Alpine team, what does that mean to you?
We are a bit like the French team against the rest of the world, so seeing so much enthusiasm from Canal+ is as cool as it is exciting.
I am impressed by the growing popularity of our sport in France.
I think we have a great story to write together.

Do you watch
Formula One: Drive to Survive
on Netflix?
Of course, I watched all the seasons.
Netflix has put Formula 1 in the spotlight.
Since 2018, the publicity generated around our sport has been immense.
One can only appreciate the help of such a platform.
It's a bonus for Formula 1 and us drivers.
