The organisers of the Ballon D'or have given Esteban Ocon a special task. Indeed, the French driver arrived in his Alpine on Monday evening to take the top prize to the podium, according to ESPN.

The Ballon D'or is the most important personal award in football. Indeed, it is used to elect the best footballer in the world every year. As the event takes place in France every year, the link with Alpine was quickly established.

At the start of the event, Ocon suddenly arrived in his Alpine. Tied to the top of his car was the grand prize. The Formula 1 driver parked his car right in front of the entrance and then entered with the prize in his hands.

Gasly also present at award ceremony

Ocon, incidentally, was not the only Formula 1 driver present. Pierre Gasly could also be admired on the red carpet. The current AlphaTauri driver will be Ocon's team-mate next season when he replaces Fernando Alonso.
