Ocon joined a number of of the movie’s stars and different celebrities on the premiere, together with Holland, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Marisa Tomei, Myleene Klass, Laura Whitmore and Clara Amfo.
Holland, who has portrayed Spider-Man/Peter Parker since 2016, appeared in a promotional video alongside Ocon because the Haas driver unveiled the particular design. “We wished to do one thing cool, make it look a bit like your costume,” Ocon mentioned. “We’ve got a great deal of particulars of the costume, the brand of the movie on the again, and a Spider-Man.”
He added: “Effectively, I received a little bit shock. With the film’s launch, I’ll put on it for 2 races. So we are going to produce three of these, and I gives you one.”
Ocon now enters the F1 summer time break after a difficult first half of the 2026 season. He sits seventeenth within the drivers’ championship with three factors. Ocon was quizzed on his future with Haas throughout the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. “Nothing to announce but,” he mentioned. “After all, the summer time break might be fairly busy. We are going to see.”
When requested if Haas is his major choice for subsequent 12 months, he added: “There are at all times many choices. In the mean time, we are going to talk about with the crew first. I have been right here for 2 years. I used to be satisfied by Ayao [Komatsu] to come back right here. The primary dialogue will occur with this crew for certain.”
