✨ An unforgettable memory
This week we celebrate the anniversary of a life-changing moment for Franco.
On 27 August 2024, Williams stunned the world: announcing Franco Colapinto as their race driver for the final nine rounds of the season. That same month, at Monza – the very circuit where he races again this weekend – the Argentine made his Formula 1 debut, fulfilling his own dream and that of an entire nation.
📢 Williams remembered it like this
“On this day in 2024, we announced that Franco Colapinto would drive with the team for the rest of the season,” Williams shared on their social channels. Words that once again stirred the emotions of thousands of fans who recall that day as a turning point for Argentine motorsport.
🏁 His debut at Monza
He started 18th and crossed the line in 12th, leaving behind seasoned drivers with far more experience. A solid, confident debut that showed he was ready to compete at the very top.
