F1 rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gabriel Bortoleto has delivered a classy response to criticism from Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut♊ Ma♍rko.

The 20-year-old Brazilian is preparing to contest his debut F1 season with backmarkers Sauber after winniꦕng back-to-back titles in Formuജla 2 and Formula 3.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Red Bull’s Marko rated Bort♌oleto as only a “B driver” as he assessed the 2025 crop of F1 rookies.

“I’d rate him a B driver,” Marko told ServusTV. “He’s a very intelligent racer - he won t🎉he Formula 3 championship [in 2023], but with only one victory. He tends to stay out of trouble.

“In Formula 2, he had only two wins. He’s a driver who brings the car home, has a solid gജrasp of strategy and tyre management, but I don’t see thไat ultimate speed in him.”

Bortoleto was asked about Marko’s commen😼ts in Melbourne, to which he responded in a firm but respectfu𝕴l manner.

“I think Helmut is a guy who has been in F1 for a very long time. He has put a lot of very talented drivers in Formula 1 in the past, but he also put probably more drivers that failed in Formu💯la 1” Bortoleto told Sky Sports.

“I have respect for him for the achievements he haไs had with drivers like Max Verstappen. For me, he’s one of the greatest of the sport.

“Everyone can have opinions - we live in a free world. He has his opinions about me. I think I’ve 🦹proved myself to be in Formula 1. I won Formula 2 and Formula 3 as a rookie.”

And Bortoleto is determined to prove Mark🅘o wrong and make the 81-year-old 🍌Austrian eat his words.

“I’m going to prove him wrong, it’s just a matteꦬr of time,” he added. “Nothing I can say to th🦄e media right now will change his mind because it’s just talking and talking.

“The only thing I can do now is head to the ജtrack and prove that his argument was wrong and hopefully with time he will admit ‘okay my opinion wasn’t right’ and he wil🌠l regret what he said.

"But I have done this in the past as well. I have said things whichဣ I regret and I don’t agree with nowadays, it’s normal. I’m 𝓡not going to make a big thing about it.”

Bortoleto has Alonso on his side

Bortoleto arrives in F1 highly rated and has been signed to two-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso’s A14 management company.

“His ded﷽ication and his professionalism towards racing has been probably the most impressive thing,” ♐Alonso told media in Melbourne.

“Since day one he was very committed to work hard for his dreams and already in Formula Regional Europe but then in Formula 3 and the🌺n Formula 2, each race was very well pꦛrepared and a very mature approach.

“He deserves to be in Formula 1 and 🍬hopefully a long career here and successful. He has been the best rookie of this🔯 next generation. We see so many rookies into F1 this year and he has been the best of them.

“M🔥aybe he hasn't had the car at the moment to match their results th𒁃e first year but hopefully people don't forget what he did in the last two.”
