All the top F1 teams are said to be looking at one impressive rookie.
Gabriel Bortoleto’s reputation in Formula 1 is soaring following his outstanding performance at the Italian Grand Prix.
The Brazilian rookie consistently outperformed his more experienced teammate Nico Hulkenberg and secured points for the fourth time in six races, finishing eighth at Monza.
Bortoleto’s impressive displays have caught the attention of top F1 teams, with Sky Sports F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz confirming their interest in him.
Despite attracting interest from other teams, Bortoleto has decided to remain with Sauber and Audi to contribute to their future racing project.
His success has led to speculations that he might join Red Bull, with some experts suggesting he would be a better choice than fellow rookie Isack Hadjar.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko’s earlier dismissal of Bortoleto as a “B driver” now seems to overlook his potential as a future F1 star.
