Franco Colapinto arrived in the season as a comet and although he failed to secure a place for 2025, he was not without merit.
He can indeed be proud of the award for the most beautiful overtaking maneuver of the year, based on the fans' votes. He received this for a reason, but for the maneuver he performed against Fernando Alonso in Austin. The several hundred thousand votes from Argentina were probably also necessary, but the position change (BELOW) at the end of the long straight on the Texan racetrack proved to be the most beautiful of the year.
Many people were outraged by this, in the post that communicated the award it was often stated that there were many more beautiful overtaking maneuvers that year and that he did not deserve to be chosen as the best, but overall Franco Colapinto brought a new color to the often gray world of Formula 1 during his available races.
