Gabriel Bortoleto

Gabriel Bortoleto is entering his second season in Formula One with Audi Revolut F1® Team in 2026. The 2024 FIA Rookie of the Year made history by winning back-to-back championships in Formula 3 and Formula 2 in his debut seasons, a feat only a few other Formula One drivers have achieved to date.

Gabriel’s dream of reaching Formula One began in childhood, inspired by his idol and fellow Brazilian, Ayrton Senna. Born in São Paulo, he first climbed into a kart at six and won multiple junior kart titles between 2012 and 2014. At eleven, he moved to Europe to pursue a professional racing career. He made his single-seater debut in 2020 in the Italian Formula 4 Championship, finishing fourth in his first season, followed by two seasons in Formula Regional, racing both in Europe and in Asia.

Gabriel made the step to Formula 3 in 2023, clinching the title at the end of a dominant season. Back-to-back success followed, when he became the 2024 Formula 2 champion. With growing attention around the rising star, Sauber took the step to sign him as Nico Hulkenberg’s teammate for 2025.

After a standout rookie season in 2025, Gabriel heads into 2026 with confidence and determination, looking to translate potential into consistent results with Audi Revolut F1® Team.
