There are weeks that stay with a community forever

The week of 27th May 2025 was one of those.

Franco was turning 22 in the middle of a race week, with the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona just around the corner. And the FranClub showed up like always: with everything.

💬 Over 1,400 messages arrived

We asked you to send Franco your birthday wishes and the response was incredible. Over 1,400 messages came in from every corner of the world, from Argentina to Brazil, through Spain and beyond. These were some of the ones that moved us most: "Happy birthday Franco, thank you for making us believe again. Thank you for showing us that dreams really do come true, you're a source of pride for everyone." Antonella "Parabéns direto do Brasil, Franco! You're an inspiration for all of us! Keep running, we're always with you." Tatiane "I had stopped watching Formula 1 many years ago. Thanks to you, my wife and I wake up on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to enjoy every lap together." Axel
