Seeing Ocon smile when talking about Cars makes me so happy. Big fan of these kinds of videos where drivers go more in depth about things that happen in the car, etc.
Ocon is such a two faced guy. After almost sending Alonso to the wall at high speed twice because he couldn't legitimately beat his teammate. One of the dirtiest esp in wheel-to-wheel
@@rumblefish9 Hmm, what about Alonso ramming into the back of him in Brazil? Maybe you're the two faced one for your clear bias.
@@rumblefish9 cuz nothing good is allowed to exist without someone mentioning the downside, right? Beside, everyone that isn't clearly biased will tell you that in São Paulo, one incident was Esteban's fault and one Nando's.
@@rumblefish9this has nothing to do with the og comment or the video tho. Also funny that you're calling Ocon 2 faced (being a bit overagressive on track, but being a nice dude off track doesn't make someone 2 faced btw) while bringing up Alonso.
@@rumblefish9 Alonso. The guy most famously known for being two faced? Lol yeah you're brainwashed
Raikkonen should do this once
bwoah
"They drove. He was faster. He won."
His video would be 30 seconds long 😂
"i don't know this one" x5
Video wouldn't last as long as the average punk song🧊🇮🇸😂
3 things:
1: His smile when he watched Cars - we now know he's a Fan.
2: A Frenchman repping Taxi.
3: "I know, I knew Nikki" - talking about Nikki in the present tense - hits right in the feels.
The taxi movies are amazing, and surprisingly, the cars are actually real. Not props or anything. They did some ridiculous engine swap in em.
5 second penalty for speaking French. all the video.
Nah take all of his championship points like Schumacher 1997
A yoke!
10 second penalty for not serving the penalty correctly.
5 second penalty for speeding whilst talking
10 second penalty for serving the penalty wrong
Esteban Ocon is such a smart driver. He is able to discuss in detail without having to stutter or think twice
Yeah this video made me realize how smart he is.
I don't think most drivers would necessarily give that much feedback.
And Kimi would probably just mumble "I don't know, it's all racing so it is the same but a bit different, I guess"
@@MeThePeoplesyou cant really ask detail to kimi🗿he dont really like something complex
and also crash into his teammate....
@@sirhenners204 he was smart at explaining something, but about how he drive it's another story
It has nothing to do with beeing smart, it's even sad people think that way.
I love how he went into detail and was very matter the fact with analyzing how realistic or not these scenes are. But understand it's about the spectacle and isn't condescending.
It feels natural seeing Esteban speaking French over English. I wish he did more of his interviews en français.
Yeah it sounds so natural.
Love how eloquent yet expressive he is when speaking French. Loved his confidence too, the smile he had while talking about Cars or his emotions when he talked about Niki Lauda.
You can really tell that Esteban is so much more comfortable in French than in English. For some drivers it's not as clear but he's so much more eloquent in his own language
Well hes french so its obvious
Esteban doesn’t get as much love as he deserves. Love this sort of content
Bit hard getting any love if his haters are fanatical Verstappen, Alonso fans. Not saying those fans are wrong, but they make Ocon sounding like Hitler or something
@@ezrachristian718 ironic considering Ocon’s driving style kinda falls in line with those two
@@magicmax7578 exactly, I love Max and Fernando to death but they sound bitter when a (kind of) replica of them race the same way, they tend to get mad
@@ezrachristian718the issue was he only raced that way alongside Alonso, anyone else was like the gates were opened. 0 defense. But if Alonso was next to him he went for attack. Still a good driver but needs to clean it up.
he´s a very talented driver but such a dirty one as well
No matter what you think about Ocon, there are some things you have to concede: he has passion for the sport, he has brains and he has a really pleasant speaking voice in French.
There's a mistake in the subtitles at 06:39. When Esteban says "sauf si une voiture est bridée", "bridée" doesn't mean the car is hybrid. It means the engine is powered down / limited
the manhole cover point he made happened last night LMAOOOOO
Yeah I was immediately to say that !
he is very well spoken and I love his voice. I am such a big fan
I really hope Alpine can improve greatly and catch up to Aston Martin. And that Ocon will defeat Gasly. I believe he can easily. I've been impressed by Ocon since he entered F1. His Brazil race in 2016 was a highlight.
To show all his doubters and the Alonso fanboys that are butthurt that Ocon beat him last year.
@@Firemarioflower beat him last year? Didn't Alo score more points?
@@NicoGorsberg Wow big deal
@@lukasm.1894 Nope
@@Firemarioflower 😂 how butthurt u must be, Alpine can’t even catch Merc and your wishing for AM 😂😂
After all these years, we finally got the Cars reaction, and it's adorable watching Ocon smile throughout the segment.
They should get Vettel to do this too. With his insane knowledge, it'd be treat to listen him
Ocon was great in this. I might even say his explanations were more informative than Danny Ric's
It was said by a few engineers in f1 teams that Danny Ric's knowledge about mechanical aspect of cars was very lackluster
@@parzival7996 Dan Ric fans would really like to kill you
Danny Ric is a literal clown that just goofs around and tries too hard to be a jokester. Good riddance that he's not on the grid anymore.
@@salmanfarruz F1 Fans when there's a funny extrovert driver 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
@@salmanfarruz lmao 8 wins, what a clown
When was this filmed? He said he hasn’t won yet, but he won a race almost 2 years ago now
Might be referring to the championship rather than one race
I was going to comment the same thing. It might've been a vague translation but I assume Ross McGregor there is right
Yeah I was very confused.
@@elijahlupe I speak French and he literally said "I haven't won yet" so yeah, this must be a very old video. GQ should at least acknowledge that in the description.
@@fredd3233 Those of us that don't speak French can see that he said "I haven't won yet." That doesn't mean he was specifically talking about a race and not a championship
6:40 he says "bridé" not "Hybrid". The correct translation would be : restricted, like the restrictor plates in Nascar
ESTIE BESTIE!! im glad this was in french, his english is good but you can tell he’s much more comfortable in his native language, it’s definitely easier for him to explain things
Thanks for bringing 1998 Taxi. One of the best car movies ever
1:09 unintentional foreshadowing for Las Vegas GP
Estaban putting some respect on CARS wasn't something I expected to watch today.
Little mistake in the traduction at 6:42. Ocon wants to say 'unless one of the cars is restrained" and not "hybrid". In French it gives " sauf si une des deux voitures est bridée", it sounds the same but it's not the same
Wow. You can see here how Esteban is so passionate and knowledgeable. I want to see other drivers do this too
We love Estie, love this kind of videos where you can see the passion they have for the sport in a different way, and how fun is that the cars the animated movie is more accurate than the ones with "real" cars
Estie? Dafuq
I enjoyed this. Especially when Esteban started talking about the muscle cars and the gearing. He's right 😂😂😂
They got that fast and furious gearbox haha.
He didn’t really take into account the fact those muscle cars were most definitely modified at least to some degree, obviously it’s not ever talked about in the need for speed movie but it’s pretty easily inferred they’re not stock. With that it’s most definitely possible those cars could have aftermarket transmissions installed which could be a 4speed automatic overdrive a 5 speed or 6 speed manual, and technically with enough time and money you can swap a 8 speed or 10 speed DCT although that’s a very rare swap for a classic muscle car. Also you can most definitely lock the rear wheels and drift using a cable operated emergency brake although it’s not gonna be easy.
@@jacob-bell It's really not worth all of that when it comes to a classic muscle car. You really shouldn't go past a 6-speed manual because those blocks back in the day couldn't extract the most out of their power.
@@nollienick1121 Might be a CVT lmao
Whoa cool. I've never seen Ocon speak his language this much. But I love the fact his fans in France and other french speaking countries who may not know English too well could enjoy watching and enjoy this without subtitles for a change.
Him talking about the manhole covers after Vegas is just the biggest coincidence ever! LMAO
This was really amazing. He seems to know a lot about different types of racing cars. It was interesting to listen to. And I love that he mentioned Lewis. because of course he did. And the last part was sweet as well.
His dad is a mechanic:) I suspect the emotional and educational investment carried a lot of weight alongside any financial support his parents' put into his racing growing up 🙏
Esteban is easily one of the most likeable drivers on the grid and is way more talented than people give him credit for.
What? I literally can’t stand him. I’m sure he’s a fun guy but as far as a tv presence it’s a no for me ( Maybe I’m biased because I’m French Canadian, but he sounds so smug to me, on the other hand I really like gasly )
If you've ever ridden in a fast boat for more than 2 mins without sunglasses you'd know that it would be impossible for Sly Stallone to keep his eyes open like that driving around like that.
Esteban all but said Cars was the most realistic racing movie ever and I think that’s beautiful
Lovely to see Estaban ocon in one of these, and great selection of movies that really hit the heart and so too clearly on Ocon
Hearing Esteban not speak english is the most odd thing in this video.
He is much more articulate speaking french so I glad they went that way. I always assumed he was a bit slow or something but I guess hes just not the best english speaker lol. This was a great video though to see him like this.
@@SuperBKDK Exactly! Like by no means do I think he's dumb or not well spoken I just typically only hear him speaking in english in short sentences because it's on track radio or post race/session interviews.
@@SuperBKDK He actually speaks 4 languages fluently which is very impressive.
I could listen to him talk all day
GQ should let him do asmr
@@kayleeng4505 haha now that would be gooodddd
@@knk45 will he do in english or french? What type of triggers will he do i wonder?
I am really thankful the video didn't demand him speaking in English. Not that he's bad or anything but he seems more relaxed confident and expressive in his native language. Love the video thanks GQ.
Esteban is one of my favourite drivers! Love seeing him here!
I love when he mentioned Fabio and explaining motoGP / F1. Well spoken dude
Ocon: “The part where they go onto the grass is not realistic”
*Lando at monza has entered the chat*
Vettel as well
When was this filmed? Esteban says he hasn't won yet at 3:38. Maybe it's a bad translation, because he won Hungary '21.
Maybe meant the current seasn
I think he meant WDC, not race
I was thinking the same.
Esteban Ocon “driving without a helmet would never happen”
Meanwhile Mark Webber exists
Not so you'd notice.
Love Esteban one of the most underrated drivers on the grid
No his not🤣, his maybe underrated as a bad teammate, the way he always saw Alonso as a threat only.
@@arongecseg3523
So apparently trying to beat your teammate is bad?
You easily forget how Alonso treated his others teammates!
love ocon , great driver , cool guy
Esteban is a great driver, Happy to see more drives doing this kind of stuff, back in the day was just Daniel.
Look at him getting excited when the f1 car revs, f1 drivers are ❤
The 406 that raced in Europe was a beauty. It was gold and green. Used it on TOCA Racing all the time.
8:44 Ocon confirming why Memphis Raines' Eleanor Mustang was in such a bad way after he leapt over the ramp in the modern Gone in 60 Seconds Movie.
I don’t know when this was filmed, but since he won a GP in 2021, either it’s really old, or nothing but the World Title matters to him :)
i love that as Brazilian i can understand spoken Latin and Romanian better than i can understand spoken French xD
Thank you content world needed the most
1:06 yeah sainz now know something about it
This is the first time I've ever heard him speak French in all my years of watching F1. He sounds much better
In the Ford v Ferrari segment at 6:42 he does not say "Unless one of the cars is a hybrid", he says "Unless one of the cars has a speed limiter".
I know Esteban Ocon will be world champ one day
Estebaaaaan!!! Love you, Dude. Can't wait to watch you in Australia next week!
love esteban so much and this whole video was fantastic
Wow is French such a beautiful language, I get why French speakers speak English if they're famous and all, but it is very nice to hear such a nice flowing language like French sometimes.
Fun Fact: Need for Speed is all real action scenes with real cars and drivers. No CGI. Very modified stunt cars.
10 place grid penalty to Ocon for breaking down the movie scenes.
1:02 Jeremy has done driving a single seater car without helmet and just using goggles, and it happened like what ocon described lol
J’adore Esteban! Merci GQ!
Seeing his hoi watching Cars and Taxi brings me joy
Ocon is a not just F1 driver he is a race winner.
Thank you for saying this. When he said he hadn’t won yet at 3:40 I thought Hungary was a fever dream lol. Guess he’s talking about the championship
@@chrisbuneo3257 not only he win he was battling Sebastian Vettel out of all people that day
Wow, I like Ocon so much more when he speaks French. Baguette 🥐
1:07 didn’t age well did it 😂
Finally need for speed getting recognition it deserves as one of the best car movies to come out in the past 10 years😭
je regarde cette vidéo après les qualifs de Las Vegas 2023, je ne parlerai pas de la plaque d'égout . j'adore le fait que Esteban fasse toute la vidéo en français, ça a l'air d'être quelqu'un de super agréable niveau compagnie !
Fyi, at 6:41 he said « sauf si la voiture est bridée » which translates to « only if the car is restricted » (and not a hybrid)
We need a Vettel Version please
Absolutely loved this video, Estie BESTIE is so underrated.
J'adore Taxi! c'est mon film de voiture préféré! tellement content d'entendre esteban dire ca aussi!
I'm so happy hearing him talk in french
Amazing driver. He got a lot of knowledge about racing history.
I need Leclerc to do one of this interviews too
I love the Fabio Quartararo shout!
My favorite driver lets goooo
On racetrack some like him, some don't but off racetrack he is a nice guy
Merci beaucoup, Esteban!
Absolutely love Cars. My childhood
Very good video he talks all about driving for fans not for normal people
1:04 cue in Jeremy Clarkson’s floppy face on the infamous Ariel atom segment lol
this was super interesting to listen to, great analysis and explanations by esteban ocon!
Esteban is such a likable guy.
That was.. refreshingly interesting. By the by, Taxi is one of my favourite films as well. I also refuse to say or write anything bad about it. :)
I wish he'd included 1966's Grand Prix and 1971's Le Mans.
Still the best racing scenes ever in terms of cinema, what a shame
The Rush deserves much longer discussion.
The story and the way it looks is great, but the editing makes it hard to comment on: it's so choppped up at times
Wasn't it Jean Louis Schlesser (French racing legend, Dakar Rally winner) who directed all the stunts and racing parts in Taxi? If so, they did a tremendous job!
"Driving without a helmet isn't possible"
Mark Webber: "Hold my beer"
The fact that they didn’t show cars 2 or 3 with the guest voiceovers is criminal
Real knowledge there, fantastique
I feel like Esteban, have watched the Taxi saga countless times.
Alert generaaaaaalll!
Thanks, Esteban! That was a great debrief!!
Living in Quebec finally paid off!
There was no Hans when Driven was filmed. Came a year after that to CART on oval tracks.
He isn't talking about the HANS. he's talking about the U shaped insert that is put in that has the headrest on it.
Having infinite gears to shift every 5 seconds is like gun movies having infinite bullets in one magazine 😂
8:02-8:15 Ocon ending Fast and Furious: Tokyo's career in 3 seconds as well as many stupid James Bond movies, where drifting seems to be a necessity
In touge conditions and in every race in tokyo drift drift helps to go fast. Even rally cars drift to take low speed turns.
@@ajaychaitanyareddy Rally is a different thing.... That's on the kind of surfice that it's inevitable to do. Other than that, drifting is never aiding you to go fast. You lose constant speed, it's important to have a good exit and take all that speed onto the next straight, with drifitng the car stays unnessecarily long into a bend and makes a sluggish exit
@Firemarioflower like i said touge and also rally takes part on tarmac also. Id say watch initial d.
@@ajaychaitanyareddy Loeb used the smallest slip angle he could get away with and dominated rally. You're right that breaking traction can be the fastest way around a corner on gravel, but only to the extent that the minimum steering input and maximum corner speed demand it. Nobody is "drifting" in the spectacle sense in stage rally.
@borntodie yeah i agree.
Love how out of all of these movies, Cars is the most accurate 😂😂
It' always a pleasure to listen to Estie bestie
cool video. they should've looked at Grand Prix. the most authentic representation of track racing
