    How Verstappen helped Bortoleto on his journey to F1

    Bortoleto’s F1 Journey: Max Verstappen’s Valuable Guidance

    Gabriel Bortoleto, the rising star of Sauber, has creditably attributed part of his successful entry into Formula 1 to valuable support from reigning world champion Max Verstappen. Their burgeoning relationship, marked by shared interests and mutual respect, underscores the unique camaraderie in the motorsport community, as Bortoleto adapts to the elite level of racing.

    In the run-up to the Australian Grand Prix, Bortoleto received crucial advice from Verstappen to start the race on intermediate tyres — a decision that proved pivotal. Beyond race strategy, Verstappen has been instrumental in providing Bortoleto with vital insights and support throughout his journey to Formula 1, having advised him during his time in Formula 3.

    Red Bull need some distracting headlines after the sacking of Christian Horner.

    A Mentor’s Influence

    Bortoleto flaunts a deep admiration for Verstappen, whom he regards as a role model alongside the legendary Ayrton Senna. “Max is an amazing guy,” Bortoleto expressed, highlighting Verstappen’s brilliance and racing acumen. Their friendship blossomed through sim racing, where they began collaborating and sharing knowledge. “We created a very nice relationship where he helps me a lot,” Bortoleto recounted.

    Their connection revitalised through sim racing, which Bortoleto initially found challenging. “When I started, I hated it because I wasn’t any good,” he reflected. Following encouragement from his father, he invested in his own simulator and committed to improvement. This newfound dedication transformed his approach, making sim racing a crucial aspect of his preparation and learning.

    An Emerging Sim Racing Star

    Now an ambassador for Verstappen’s Team Redline, Bortoleto practices alongside some of the best in the sport. “I focus a lot on Assetto Corsa, especially with F1 cars,” he informed. His dedication has positioned him among the top ranks in sim racing, although he acknowledges the need for continuous effort to maintain his standing.

    As Bortoleto settles into his role with Sauber, he is eager to make an impact, buoyed by Verstappen’s encouragement and insights. With aspirations to emulate his idol’s success, Bortoleto’s journey reflects the potent blend of talent, hard work, and invaluable mentorship that characterizes the pursuit of greatness in Formula 1.

    Bortoleto’s rise serves as a beacon for aspiring drivers, underscoring the importance of community and support in achieving success on the grand stage of motorsport.
