GabrielBortoleto

Gabriel Bortoleto did something only the very best manage: he won Formula 2 at the first attempt, the year after winning Formula 3 — back-to-back junior crowns. The Brazilian, with Invicta, was a model of rookie composure, racing with a feel for tyres and strategy that belied his inexperience and grinding out results when raw pace alone wasn't enough. Isack Hadjar pushed him hard across a long, twisting title fight, but Bortoleto consistently found the answers under pressure. The reward was immediate: a 2025 Formula 1 seat with Sauber, the squad becoming Audi, marking him out as one of the brightest prospects of his generation.
