Franco Colapinto arrived as a comet during the season, and although he failed to secure a seat for 2025, he was not left without merit.
He can be consoled with the award for the most beautiful overtaking of the year, according to the fans' vote. And he received this for none other than the maneuver he performed against Fernando Alonso in Austin. It probably took the votes of hundreds of thousands of Argentines, but the position change he made at the end of the long straight on the Texas racetrack (BELOW) turned out to be the most beautiful of the year.
Many people were outraged by this, and in the post announcing the award, many people complained that there were much better overtakes this year and that he did not deserve to be chosen as the best, but overall, Franco Colapinto brought new color to the often gray world of Formula 1 during the races he had available.
