P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Adjusting to life as an F1 driver has gone well so far for Gabriel Bortoleto, although one factor about the series has required time to learn for the Brazilian.
In his rookie F1 season, Gabriel Bortoleto identified the challenge of dealing with the media as more complex than anticipated, contrasting it with his F2 experience.
Despite driving for Sauber, a team with one of the weaker cars, Bortoleto has showcased a solid performance, with multiple Q2 appearances but no points finish so far, unlike his teammate Hulkenberg.
Learning from the experienced Hulkenberg has been valuable for the Brazilian driver, especially on unfamiliar circuits, where he has had to adapt quickly.
While adjusting to new tracks has been manageable for Bortoleto, it is handling the media responsibilities that has proven to be a significant aspect of his rookie season in F1.
In F2, the focus was solely on racing, without the distractions of media engagements, making the transition challenging but rewarding for the talented driver.
