Gabriel Bortoleto

Brazilian energy!

As Gabriel Bortoleto fans, we can’t wait to see him finally get his shot in Formula 1 with Sauber! We've watched him rise through the ranks, proving himself again and again, and now he's set to race alongside Nico Hülkenberg—a pairing that’s going to be thrilling to follow. Knowing how dedicated Gabriel is—the hours he spends in the gym, on the simulator, and studying every detail he can get his hands on—it feels like all that hard work is paying off, and he’s absolutely ready for the challenge of F1.

In F3, he was something special to watch. We saw him tackle every track with that quiet confidence, the kind that comes from knowing he’s prepared for anything. He wasn’t just about raw speed (although he’s got that too!); it was the way he handled pressure and thought two steps ahead, even against drivers who’d been in the sport longer.

He raced with a strategic mind, and he’s had this smooth driving style that stands out in every race. Now, seeing him go head-to-head with some of the world’s best in F1?

The legacy of legends

It’s the kind of moment we’ve all been hoping for. And we love that he’s representing Brazil, stepping into the legacy of legends like Senna and Fittipaldi. He’s got such pride in where he comes from, and we can tell he wants to make his country proud. It’s exciting to think that Brazilian fans could have another hero to cheer for in F1, someone who’ll bring that Brazilian passion and fire back to the grid.

Teaming up with Hülkenberg is such a fantastic move too. Hülkenberg's experience will be huge for Gabriel, and we know Gabriel will be absorbing everything he can from a driver who’s seen it all in F1. Together, they could make a powerful team for Sauber as they head into this new chapter with Audi.

Building a team

For us fans, there’s no question Gabriel’s got what it takes—he’s going to bring that same skill, grit, and flair he’s always shown. The excitement of watching him take on the F1 grid is off the charts, and we couldn’t be prouder to support him on this journey!
