About

Gabriel Bortoleto won the Formula 3 and Formula 2 championships back to back, a feat that marked him as Brazil’s next big hope, and Audi signed him for their Formula 1 arrival.

Fifteenth in the 2026 championship on 12 points, the young Brazilian is learning fast alongside the experienced Hülkenberg, and every point for a first-year team is hard earned.
