F1 drivers like to stay as fit as they can be at all times, and diet plays a big role in helping them stay in shape. That is why, Esteban Ocon was not allowed to have a cake today on his 28th birthday as he reached Singapore to prepare for the Grand Prix weekend.
However, the Frenchman found his own way to make up for his sweet tooth with a donut. He also took a tour of the Jurassic Park zone of ‘The Lost World’ theme at Universal Studios Singapore, the only movie-theme park in the country.
The Alpine driver enjoyed his time at the park by taking on various Jurassic Park-themed rides and also shared pictures of his visit on Instagram while thanking everyone for the warm birthday wishes.

Ocon captioned the story saying, “No cake today but I was allowed a donut 28, feeling great! thank you everyone for the birthday wishes.”
Interestingly, Ocon was also accompanied by his performance coach Tom Clark during his visit who would have made sure that the French driver didn’t break his ‘no-cake’ commitment.
Ocon will be keen to bounce back strongly in the second race of this doubleheader after a disappointing Azerbaijan GP weekend. He had to take a pitlane start in Baku due to the need for new power unit elements on his car after qualifying.
Eventually, Ocon could not get a strong result, finishing P15 and a lap down despite putting in a mammoth 49-lap stint on the hard tires. Nevertheless, his birthday celebrations would have cheered him up before he gets back in the car at the Marina Bay street circuit.
