Alex and Franco in the running for Overtake of the Year

Williams Racing fans, it's time to rally behind our drivers! Both Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto delivered memorable moves this season, earning them Overtake of the Month for both June and October, respectively.

Now they’re up for the top prize of Overtake of the Year! Need a reminder of the moves? Here they are…

Back in June at the Canadian Grand Prix, Alex showcased his brilliance in mixed conditions. Starting in the top 10, Albono kept himself in the hunt for points on a track that was drying after a mid-race downpour.

Albono locked onto the rear wing of Daniel Ricciardo’s RB as they rounded Turn 10 before heading towards the final chicane.

Despite the DRS being disabled due to the weather, our No23 powered down the back straight. He used the slipstream to gain an edge, pulling alongside Ricciardo and making his first move.

But Alex didn’t stop there. Esteban Ocon’s Alpine was just ahead, gingerly slowing into the final chicane. With almost no time to react, Alex darted to the right, slipping through a gap between Ricciardo and Ocon, claiming the apex with millimetre precision.

In just a few metres, Alex had transformed P11 into P9, earning praise from commentator Jolyon Palmer, who called it "one of the great moves."

Fast-forward to October at the Circuit of the Americas, where the least experienced driver on the grid, Franco Colapinto, delivered a moment of magic against the driver with the most starts in F1 history, Fernando Alonso.

Shadowing Alonso through Austin’s twisty first sector, Franco bided his time before striking on the long back straight.

The Aston Martin of Alonso threw everything into defending, but Franco’s confidence proved unstoppable.

Timing his move to perfection, the Argentine darted to the inside at Turn 12, outbreaking Alonso and seizing the racing line. He held firm through the challenging sequence of Turns 13-16, proving his mettle and climbing into the top 10.
