Gabriel Bortoleto has been working closely with Fernando Alonso for some time.
Gabriel Bortoleto shared a voice message sent by Fernando Alonso after his strong start to the Formula 3 season. Bortoleto began his F3 campaign shortly after joining Alonso’s A14 Management program and won the first two feature races. While he didn’t win any more races that season, his consistency helped him secure the championship title. Alonso advised Bortoleto not to expect wins in every round and to maintain focus and hard work despite inevitable performance dips. Bortoleto’s F3 success led to winning the F2 championship the following year, and he will make his F1 debut with Sauber this season, remaining with the team as it transitions to an Audi works team in 2026.
