10 Franco Colapinto
4th in F3
The Argentinian started the year by following in the footsteps of his nation’s legendary Carlos Reutemann in being signed up to the Williams F1 team, and with a short hop from one Dutch F3 team to another – Van Amersfoort Racing to MP Motorsport. He put in a solid sophomore season to finish just nine points shy of runner-up Zak O’Sullivan, and vastly outperformed his teammates. While Colapinto never qualified on the front row, it was consistency that proved key to his strong championship position, with 14 finishes in the top 10 from the 18 races. Both his victories came in sprint races: the first at Silverstone a dominant display in mixed conditions from fourth on the grid; the second at Monza after fending off challenges. He was first on the road in another sprint – in Melbourne – only for all three MP cars to be excluded for a bodywork infringement. He stepped up to F2 for the Abu Dhabi finale as a taster to his full-time graduation in 2024.
