Franco Colapinto nominated for F1 Overtake of the Month after Spa GP

Formula 1 highlighted Argentine driver Franco Colapinto’s double overtaking maneuver at the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa‑Francorchamps, nominating it for the series’ “Overtake of the Month”. The move saw Colapinto pass teammate Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson in a single, precise action that the sport’s officials described as “wild, epic and unbelievable”, drawing comparisons to Mika Häkkinen’s famous double pass in 2000.

In a separate assessment, the F1 performance ranking released during the 2026 season placed Colapinto tenth overall with an average score of 7.0, equal to Isack Hadjar. Experts noted his consistency in his first full season and his contribution of points in six races, helping Alpine maintain a competitive position in the Constructors’ Championship. The analysis suggested that continued improvement could see him secure a full‑time Alpine seat by 2027.
