The victory in Budapest and the incredible podium in Losail will not remain the only ‘stages of victory’ trodden this year by Esteban Ocon And Fernando Alonso. The duo of Alpine riders were in fact a great protagonist, surprisingly, on the occasion of the awards ceremony of the Golden Ball which took place this evening in Paris. The popular prize, organized by France Football, which is awarded to the best footballer of the calendar year, had in fact among its sponsors the French team, the ‘heir’ of Renault in F1. Ocon and Alonso were thus used as exceptional ‘valets’ to bring the two coveted trophies to the stage.
The two pilots entered the award room wearing an elegant tuxedo but with their faces covered by an anonymous black helmet. On stage then here is the ‘unveiling’. For the French and the Asturian – who had ‘revealed’ through his Instagram profile that he was in the French capital – this is the first act of a rather intense weekend, which will end for the couple in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the first F1 GP in the history of the country. Alonso himself, over the years, has never hidden his strong football passion and his support for Real Madrid.
