Haas F1 Driver in 2025, Esteban Ocon Has Officially Turned the Blue Page of France for a New Red Ferrari.
Free from his obligations to Alpine, Esteban Ocon decided to indulge himself with a little gourmet treat by acquiring a brand new Ferrari 296 GTB. The Normand is now a member of the American team Haas, a Ferrari customer for its engines. So, it’s not a company car, and Ocon could have continued racing in Alpine, but what can you do… The French champion has also become an ambassador for Groupe Charles Pozzi, Ferrari’s official dealer in France. This partnership was announced on social media, where we see Ocon receiving his new car. Although the financial details of this purchase remain strictly confidential, it is unlikely that the public price, around 230,000 euros, was fully paid by the driver. We even bet he got a free Ferrari keychain to replace his old Alpine model…
Delivered in an elegant Rosso Fiorano hue, Ocon’s Ferrari 296 GTB is a technological masterpiece. This plug-in hybrid coupe is powered by a 3-liter twin-turbo V6 combined with a 123 kW electric motor, producing a total of 819 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 330 km/h.
The French driver, who experienced a painful end to his adventure with Alpine, will surely need this little boost before tackling a crucial season in 2025. While Haas F1 is on an upward trajectory, especially with Toyota’s support, it remains a midfield team still chasing its first win at the highest category. Ocon has already tasted victory on the podium, winning the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2021. It’s up to him to show his new team the joys of champagne showers!
