Previously named European F-3 the competition became an almost mandatory step for drivers with pretensions to follow the path to the F-1, which means FIA F3 and FIA F2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, in his first year in the category, competing for the Fernando Alonso\u2019s team, Bortoleto accumulated two podiums and a lot experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, the Brazilian competed for the French team R-Ace GP, champion of the category in 2021. The debut took place at the end of January, when the driver participated in the F-Regional Asian, formerly F3 Asian, winning right away in his debut race at Yas Marina Speedway in Abu-Dhabi. Still in the Middle East, in preparation for the European Championship, Bortoleto competed in the Dubai race, accumulating another podium. In the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine season, Bortoleto concluded the year in sixth place, with two victories and pole position in the last stage of the year, in Mugello &#8211; ITA, as highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, following the natural course of his career, Bortoleto competed in the FIA F3 Championship. This category, which competes as a preliminary in 10 F1 World Championship events, opened the doors of the F1 Paddock to the Brazilian driver. In a fantastic season Gabriel led the championship from the first weekend and became Champion with a 45 point advantage over second place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to his excellent results in F3, Gabriel was invited to join the McLaren F1 team&#8217;s young talent program from 2024, a season in which he also competed in the FIA \u200b\u200bF2 Championship &#8211; the final step in a driver&#8217;s career before F1. In a year of great growth and fierce competition until the last stage, Bortoleto was also crowned F2 champion in his debut year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to his impressive career trajectory, the young Brazilian was then invited by the Sauber team (AUDI) to join the world&#8217;s top motorsport category &#8211; Formula 1. Bortoleto will make his debut in the 2025 season on a multi-year contract with the Swiss team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPORTS CURRICULUM<\/strong><br>Name: Gabriel Lourenzo Bortoleto Oliveira<br>Born: 10\/14\/2004 (20 y\/o)<br>City of born: Sao Paulo \u2013 Brasil<br>Current Residence: Milan \u2013 Italy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2024 \u2013 FIA F2 Championship<\/strong><br>Invicta Racing<br>Champion &#8211; 214,5 points<br>2 victories | 6 Podiuns<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2023 \u2013 FIA F3 Championship<\/strong><br>Tridend<br>Champion &#8211; 165 points<br>2 victories | 6 Podiuns<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022 \u2013 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine<\/strong><br>R-Ace GP<br>6th place &#8211; 176 points<br>2 victories | 1 Pole-Position<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>2021 \u2013 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine<\/strong><br>FA Racing<br>5th Place Rookie Division<br><br><strong>2020 \u2013 F4 Italian Championship<\/strong><br>PREMA Power Team<br>5th Place | 157 points<br>1 win | 4 podiuns<br><br><strong>2019 \u2013 Karting (OK)<\/strong><br>CRG Factory Team<br>WSK Super Master Series<br>CIK\/FIA European Championship<br>CIK\/FIA World Championship<br><br><strong>2018 \u2013 Karting (OK Junior)<\/strong><br>CRG Factory Team<br>Champion &#8211; Swedish Karting Championship<br>3rd Place &#8211; CIK\/FIA World Championship<br>3rd Place &#8211; CIK\/FIA European Championship<br>Vice-champion \u2013 WSK Super Master Series<br>Vice-champion \u2013 Andrea Margutti Trophy<br><br><strong>2017 \u2013 Karting (OK Junior)<\/strong><br>CRG Factory Team<br>7th Place &#8211; CIK\/FIA World Championship<br>8th Place &#8211; CIK\/FIA European Championship<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2014 \u2013 Karting (Cadete)<\/strong><br>Champion of Brazilian Karting Open Championship<br>Vice \u2013 Champion Super Kart Brazil<br>3rd Place\u2013 Brazilian Karting Championship<br><br><strong>2012 \u2013 Karting (Mirim)<\/strong><br>Champion of Brazilian Karting Open Championship<br>Vice \u2013 Champion Brazilian Championship<br>Vice \u2013 Champion Paulista Championship<br><br><strong>2011 \u2013 Karting (Mirim)<\/strong><br>Start in races<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming from a victorious career in Brazilian and European karting, when he peaked with third place in the 2019 World Championship, Gabriel Bortoleto reached his first season in formula cars in 2020 by the front door.
