Although it drew harsh criticism, it cost a pretty dollar. Esteban headed out in a Prada shirt, and Prada trousers, complete with-you guessed it- Prada shoes! The shirt costs a whopping $1302. The trousers and shoes were both $1200 each.
This could be credited to Esteban’s newly hired personal stylist. While the look may not be for everyone, the look sure made an impression.

Ocon looked to break from the conventional jeans as team shirts that flood the paddock on race weekends, “To dress differently and to have the experience of pro people helping you, it’s cool because I had no experience of that before. It opens up possibilities, and you discover stuff.”
