Esteban Ocon has been the obscure person of the F1 grid. He arguably doesn’t get as much recognition, often getting caught in controversies with fellow drivers. But, the Frenchman has got a unique personality. Even though it ain’t getting stardom yet, Ocon reminds us of that spark in him from time to time. So has his recent social media antics reminded us of his humor and wit while breaking the internet with a mere 2-word response to a fan.

According to Twitter, a fan asked Esteban for a “Hey” in the comments section of probably his TikTok account. The fan had commented, “can I get a hey from the icon himself? On this, the Alpine driver wittily responded, “*the ocon“. This reply from the Ocon has made fans react to appreciate his quick wit and sense of humor.

Usually, Ocon does not garner as much attention individually. He often comes up in conversation while speaking about other drivers. His 2018 fight with Max Verstappen in Brazil is a classic example of this trend. Even in 2022, Ocon consistently clashed with his world champion teammate Fernando Alonso.

Even after Alonso has left Alpine for 2023, Esteban ain’t getting enough spotlight. Especially after his fellow Frenchman Pierre Gasly came to replace Fernando, Ocon will have to again probably share the spotlight this season. Regardless, these are some moments that give Estie Bestie his moment in the sun.

Fans Appreciate the Humor of Esteban Ocon

Twitter loves to react to everything that their beloved drivers may do on and off the track. The social media game of Esteban Ocon has also drawn some eyes toward him. Mainly, fans have appreciated the humorous 2-word response given by Ocon.

These are some cool moments drivers often experience. Although, on social media comments or dropping one-liner comments is a rare thing. Besides Esteban, Carlos Sainz recently made such a hilarious comment while picking the most impressive F1 driver of 2022.
