Franco Colapinto came into the season as a comet and although he did not win a place for 2025, he was not without merit.
He can take solace in the award for the most beautiful overtaking maneuver of the year, according to the fans' vote. He won this award for the maneuver against Fernando Alonso, which he performed in Austin. A few hundred thousand Argentine votes probably contributed to this, but the exchange of positions at the end of a long straight on the Texas racetrack (BELOW) turned out to be the most beautiful of the year.
Many people were outraged by this, in the post announcing the award, countless people criticized that there were much nicer overtaking maneuvers this year and he did not deserve to be chosen as the best, but overall Franco Colapinto brought a new breath of fresh air to the often gray realm of Formula 1 during his race.
