If there is one thing to know about MoneyGram Haas F1 Team driver Esteban Ocon beyond the track, it is that he is a massive Marvel fan. Needless to say, the Frenchman was in for quite the treat when Captain America himself, Anthony Mackie, paid him a visit during a practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix yesterday (August 2).
When he is not busy racing, Ocon spends his downtime watching Marvel movies, speaking about his love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in various interviews, social media posts and more. In fact, the 28-year-old even raced with a special-edition Captain America-inspired helmet for Las Vegas Grand Prix last season. How cool is that?
Although Mackie spent a majority of his time in the Scuderia Ferrari HP garage yesterday — catching up with seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton — it looks like he paid a visit to the Haas garage as well, with Ocon sharing a video of their encounter to TikTok page.
@estebanoconfanboying hard! ? and yes of course I showed him my captain america helmet from last year ???
♬ Captain America - From "Captain America: The First Avenger" - London Music WorksThe Normandy native captioned the TikTok video — which was overlayed with "Captain America" from Captain America: The First Avenger — "Fanboying hard! ? and yes of course I showed him my Captain America helmet from last year ???" In said video, the pair is seen laughing and conversing with one another, with Ocon donning an ear-to-ear smile from start to finish.
Naturally, fans shared his excitement, taking to the comment section of the post. "THIS IS AN INSANE CROSSOVER WHAT," one fan exclaimed, while another added, "ESTEBAN X MARVEL?? THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD NEVER COME!!"
A third inquired, "Can we have Ocon in the next Avengers pls?," and needless to say, we're on the edge of our seats...
With celebrity encounters aside, the Hungarian Grand Prix will take place later today (August 3) with Ocon starting P18 and his teammate, Ollie Bearman, starting P11. Despite being towards the back of the pack, will Haas manage to take home some points?
To see how the cookie crumbles, tune into the soon-to-be spectacular race at 9am ET/6am PT.
