WATCH: F1 driver Esteban Ocon reacts to Victor Wembanyama's 'crazy' outstanding NBA performance

Esteban Ocon, a 2025 Haas Formula One driver, is a passionate basketball fan who frequently makes appearances at the NBA Games in Paris. This year was no exception, as the #31 driver was in his native nation, cheering on the world's top NBA talents. The San Antonio Spurs, five-time NBA champions, played the Indiana Pacers in Paris for two regular season games this year.

Esteban Ocon shared a video of the evening he was at on Instagram, demonstrating his obvious amazement at the whole thing. The 21-year-old Frenchman led his side to a 140-110 victory over the Pacers in the opening round with 30 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and five blocks. Victor Wembanyama, a fellow countryman, wowed the 28-year-old, particularly with his shift for the San Antonio Spurs. While talking to the press Esteban Ocon said,” Seeing Victor play was crazy.”

This is the second year that Ocon has attended the NBA Games in Paris, a program designed to increase the league's global fan base. Usually, he is joined by other drivers Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc, but they weren't there this time. While Leclerc is also busy and will not be able to attend the annual charity football game in Monaco for Fight AIDS, Gasly is presently training with his squad for the 2025 season.
