Francesco Bernoulli

**Francesco Bernoulli** is a major character in the 2011 Disney/Pixar film, *Cars 2*. He is selected as one of the racers to take part in the World Grand Prix, alongside his main rival Lightning McQueen.

Role in the series

Francesco is Diana's boyfriend and is Sabine’s real boyfriend in the series. He snuck into Maline's castle and found a charm and stuck it somewhere underneath of him so he can transform into a Lombax any time. He does transform into a Lombax when he is going on a date with Diana Harp and Sabine Jones Da Silva and he transforms back into a car when he is racing or traveling.

## Personality

Francesco started out as being cocky, as he usually boasted about being
the fastest racecar in the whole world. He was also arrogant, as shown
when he believed that McQueen could not beat him in their races
together, which also made Francesco self-centered. It also made him
slightly similar to Chick Hicks,
 but the only difference to Chick is that Francesco did not cheat. He
even felt confident that he would win in his home country, but he was
proven wrong. However, he does sometimes show care for others, such as
when he felt shocked about the other World Grand Prix racers having been
 involved in a huge crash. By the end of *Cars 2*, Francesco
appeared to become nicer, since he was shown to not be as much boastful
as before, and felt calmer racing McQueen in the Radiator Springs Grand
Prix. Francesco also often refers to himself in third-person view,
saying his name and the words "he", "his" and "him". However, he does
sometimes refer to himself in first person, such as when he uses "I" and
 "my" while stating about being in his hometown Porto Corsa.
