On the occasion of an event day organized by Alpine in Madrid, Zinedine Zidane took part in a karting race with Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, who crashed into the car of the French legend.
With the 2023 Formula 1 season over, Alpine organized an event in Madrid this Tuesday, December 12, in the presence of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, as well as the luxury ambassador of the French team, Zinedine Zidane. A day dedicated to fun and pleasure but which could have gone wrong…
As reported France Blue Normandy, everyone had the opportunity to do a go-kart race in the parking lot of a hotel. And everything went well until “big boom” heard when Esteban Ocon’s car collided with Zinedine Zidane’s. But more fear than harm. “ It was not intentional, especially not on Zizou”laughed Ocon, whose kart was deactivated and becoming uncontrollable.

“It’s clearly not the first time he’s been driving”
“If someone had told me that when I was a kid, that I was going to go karting with Zinedine…”rejoiced Pierre Gasly, who praised the driving qualities of the former number 10 of the Blues: “He’s doing well, it’s clearly not the first time he’s been driving. » A moment of joy after a complicated season for Alpine, sixth place in the constructors’ championship, far from its ambitions.
