Esteban Ocon raced the Haas VF-25 (car number 31) with a special cherry blossom (sakura) livery for the 2025 F1 Japanese Grand Prix in the Suzuka circuit, featuring pink sakura graphics over their usual red, white, and black scheme. This livery celebrated Japan's iconic cherry blossom season and reflected Haas’ growing connection with Japan, particularly through its technical partnership with Toyota. Both cherry blossoms and F1 racing are fleeting; blossoms fall quickly, and races pass in an instant. Ocon reached the end of the event in 18th position.

I consider myself visual and multicultural. Currently, I live in Taipei, Taiwan, I have lived in the US for about 25 years in the past. My years living in or traveling to different countries gave me multicultural perspectives, experienced numerous aesthetics, and helped me explore the world with an open mind. My interest in photography is broad, ranging from sports, drones, landscapes, events, portraits, wildlife photography, astrophotography, etc. to photo post-processing.
