Gabriel Bortoleto is the reigning Formula 2 champion 🌸and will make his debut with Sauber in 2025.

🦩Bortoleto was given the nod by Sauber/Audi over Valtteri Bottas, completing an all-new driver line-up alongside Nico Hulkenberg. He becomes the first Brazilian on the F1 grid since Felipe Massa in 2017.

The São Paulo-born driver is also part of A14 - Fernando Alons🔜o’s management company. Prior to joining Sauber, he was a McL🦄aren young driver.

It wasn’t until Formula 3 that Bortoleto claimed his first notable title. Before that, he only finished sixth in the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship, behind ꦿdrivers such as Paul Aron, who was ꦺpreviously part of the Mercedes set-up.

Bort💧oleto joined an exclusive group by winning back-to-back F3 and F2 titles as a rookie, earning himself a well-deserved promotion to F1 with Sauber.
