Every now and then, motorsport gives us a year to remember—and for Franco Colapinto, 2024 was that year. From a stunning mid-season Formula 1 debut to becoming a fan favourite seemingly overnight, it was a whirlwind journey that turned heads and put the young Argentine firmly on the global stage.
Franco’s call-up to Williams Racing came mid-season, making him the first Argentinian driver to hit the F1 grid since 2001. It’s the kind of opportunity every racer dreams about, and Franco made it count. Right from the start, he showed he wasn’t just there to fill a seat. His bold driving and raw pace were on full display, none more so than in Azerbaijan, where he crossed the line in eighth to claim his first F1 points—and Argentina’s first since 1982.
But it wasn’t just his on-track performances that got people talking. Franco’s charming personality and contagious energy made him an instant hit off the track. Whether it was his playful social media posts, behind-the-scenes smiles, or the video of him being soaked in champagne after scoring his first points, fans couldn’t get enough. Franco’s rise throughout 2024 was as much about connecting with fans as it was about his racing skills.
The highlight reel from the season is endless: scoring in Baku and impressing in Singapore’s grueling night race. And while his rookie year was full of challenges, Franco’s resilience and willingness to learn marked him as a driver with a big future ahead.
2024 didn’t just solidify Franco Colapinto’s place in F1—it made him a symbol of what passion, hard work, and a little bit of flair can achieve. Now, with the world waiting to see what’s next, it’s safe to say this is just the start of Franco’s unforgettable journey.
