“I was a bit nervous to meet such a legend.”

It had only been a few minutes since Esteban Ocon met LeBron James, but these were his words right before they had the funniest conversation.

Formula 1 comes to the United States.

Ocon and Charles Leclerc stayed with the Los Angeles Lakers as guests. They spent some time in LA before the much-anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix.

On their trip to Hollywood, they went to Crypto.com Arena to spend the night with the NBA’s biggest star around the world. James couldn’t play because he was hurt, but he didn’t have time to hang out with the Alpine and Ferrari drivers because he was too busy making up with Dwyane Wade on the court.

Before the game, they had enough time to say nice things to each other. LeBron gave Ocon a signed race helmet as a gift, and Ocon got a viral moment from LeBron when she least expected it.

As Ocon told the NBA media team how nervous and excited he was to meet the four-time NBA winner, LeBron made a funny move that showed Ocon there was no reason to be nervous.
