Gabriel Bortoleto has yet to fulfill his early promise in Formula 1, as he has not scored any points so far. Despite this, his teammate Nico Hulkenberg has accumulated 20 points, leading some to believe that Hulkenberg is performing better. Bortoleto himself admires Hulkenberg’s driving skills and efficiency in getting the most out of the car.
Sauber, amidst struggles, is working towards improvement in the Formula 1 circuit, as they prepare to become Audi’s factory team in the upcoming season. The team is methodically addressing their challenges and encouraging Bortoleto to do the same. Sauber recently introduced significant upgrades to enhance the car’s driveability and performance.
Issues such as loss of downforce in traffic and buffeting around the driver’s head have been highlighted by Bortoleto in races. Sauber focused on finding solutions rather than blaming the drivers for the car’s shortcomings, bringing in upgrades aimed at improving driveability. This approach signifies the team’s commitment to progress and competitive performance in the future.
