Esses #05

This issue opens with a letter from founder Ojus Jain reflecting on what defines an Esses story. Beyond a disinterest in chasing fame, gossip, or the press release, an Esses story is rooted in integrity, shaped by slow, collaborative craft, and guided by off the track considerations, or what Ojus calls “alchemy.” Issue #5 is curated through this same approach, with exclusive features from Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, Rex Orange County, F1's in house artist, and 17-year-old Ferrari driver Alba Larson. Also inside you'll find coverage on the anime cult hit Overtake!, the McLaren x Puma partnership, Pirelli at the heart of F1, helmet inspired embroidery, and more.
