It’s not often we get to dip our toe into the F1 World, so when New Era asked if we wanted to head on over to its London HQ and interview two drivers currently tearing up the asphalt, we obviously said yes.

Talking to Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon, we got the chance to discuss pre-race rituals, alternative careers and who they think holds the title for the most stylish F1 driver of all time.

Seeing as it was the New Era’s HQ, it was only right that we ask them whether they were team Fitted or team Snapback – an important question for all the serious hat-wearers out there. Let’s just say someone used to be a backwards cap kind of guy…

Shoutout to New Era for letting us chop it up with Ollie and Esteban, keep it locked to The Sole Supplier for more upcoming episodes of Talking Threads.
