Haas Formula 1 driver Esteban Ocon has teased an upcoming project, with a potential link to his love of the Marvel Comics franchise.

The Frenchman has often spoken about his love for the franchise and has worn special Marvel-inspired helmet designs, including a Spider-Man and Venom design for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

When asked about his biggest hobbies outside of the championship by F1.com, the Haas driver revealed that he has "something special coming soon".

"That’s a big passion of mine. I’m really into comics, Marvel Comics in particular," the French driver said.

"We have some exciting movies coming out next year, which are going to be awesome. A new Spider-Man, new Avengers. It’s going to be really cool, I can’t wait for that. I’ve got something special coming soon as well, which will be very nice, and I hope all the fans will love it!"

He added: "It’s going to come before the end of the year, so stay in touch… Outside of that, I like doing sports with the people I love, mountain biking, going to the gym together…

"But I’m a big petrolhead as well, going to work with my dad on cars, on racing buggies, on go-karts, I like to put my hands into it… RC [Remote Control] cars as well. It’s something I do probably a lot more than a lot of drivers. Probably Fernando [Alonso] is very similar in that case, but I like these things, for sure."

Ocon finished the 2025 F1 season 15th in the drivers' standings with 38 points, three points behind his team-mate Oliver Bearman, who finished 13th. The 29-year-old driver joined the American outfit ahead of the 2025 season on a multi-year contract, which sees him committed to the team until the end of the 2027 season.
