Formula 1 Driver Esteban Ocon Dons An Amazing SPIDER-MAN Inspired Helmet For This Weekend's U.S. Race

Formula 1 isn't something we typically cover here on ComicBookMovie.com...for obvious reasons! However, this is one crossover we figured you'd all deem pretty spectacular

The United States Grand Prix takes place tomorrow at the Circuit of the American in Austin, Texas, and French driver Esteban Ocon will be racing into action with a helmet paying homage to Spider-Man. There aren't many things more American than superheroes, and we're sure you'll agree that this is an astonishing design. 

Ocon even recreated the infamous Spider-Man pointing meme, and social media is going nuts over a helmet that's arguably stolen the show at what promises to be a very exciting race. 

At the Japanese Grand Prix earlier this month, Max Verstappen won his second Formula One World Championship with yet another dominating display from the insanely talented Dutchman. Now, his team, Red Bull, look set to cinch the Constructor's Championship in the good 'ol U.S. of A. 

Formula 1 has surged in popularity thanks to Netflix's Drive to Survive series, with America embracing the sport in a big way. Miami hosted a Grand Prix for the first time earlier this year, while Las Vegas will be getting in on the action in 2023. 

As for Ocon, he's currently in eighth place in the Drivers Standings, ahead of current teammate Fernando Alonso and right behind British drivers Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. Hopefully, channelling his inner web-slinger will give him the extra boost to find success at a track that's seen a lot of surprising names earn a win over the years. 

Next year, the driver will be teaming with Pierre Gasly, so fingers crossed he's a superhero fan as well as we're sure the two Frenchman could come up with some awesome matching designs!

Who will you be rooting for during tomorrow's Grand Prix?

@AmazingFlash - Dude, always remember the central message of "Talladega Nights": if you're not first you're last. And I've applied that to every aspect of my life, like a mantra:

- Work: I get to work at 6am every day (even though I don't really start until around 9am) just to make sure that I'm the first one in the parking garage so I get the first spot and I'm the first one on my floor. I'm also the first one to attend meetings (I usually arrive at least a half hour before) and the first one to leave. I'm also the first one to clock out, the first one to hit the bar for Happy Hour afterward, and the first one to pass out and need to call an Uber.

- Driving: I'm always the first one to take of after a stoplight changes, I cut the other drivers off to be the first one to get to the next stoplight, and I'm the first one to get pulled over by the cops in the speed trap.

- Shopping: I'm always the first person to check out in the self-checkout at the grocery store. Look, I don't care how old that crusty old bitch was, her Rascal wasn't fast enough to beat me to the check-out so suck it Grandma!

- Romantic life: I'm always the first one to... well you get the point.

Anyhow, "Shake 'n Bake", baby, "Shake 'n Bake". Praise Baby Jesus.

well, although it isn't movie news, man, I would love a motorcycle style. HJC makes Marvel helmets for motorcycles, but none of them are as cool as this! Make MINE MARVEL!
