Gabriel Bortoleto Oliveira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɡa.bɾiˈɛw boʁ.tuˈlɛ.tu o.liˈve(j).ɾɐ]; born 14 October 2004) is a Brazilian racing driver, who is currently competing in the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship for Invicta Racing. He is the reigning FIA Formula 3 champion, having wrapped up the title in qualifying at the round at Monza. Prior to that, he competed for R-ace GP in the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship.

He is part of the McLaren Driver Development Programme.

Career

Karting career

Bortoleto started karting in his native Brazil in 2012 in the Campeonato Sulbrasileiro de Kart. He remained in karts until 2019, with his most successful year being 2018, where he finished third in the European and World Championships in the OKJ-category respectively, and became vice-champion in both the WSK Super Master Series and the Andrea Margutti Trophy. [1]

Lower formula

Bortoleto made his car racing debut in the 2020 Italian F4 Championship, partnering Sebastián Montoya, Gabriele Minì and Dino Beganovic at Prema Powerteam. [2] His first podium came at Mugello, where he scored second, third, and a victory, taking his first single-seater win in the fourth round of the season. [3] He scored two more podiums in Monza and finished the season fifth in the overall championship, ahead of Montoya but behind Beganovic and eventual champion Minì. Bortoleto also finished fourth in the rookies' standings.[ citation needed]

In March 2021 it was announced that Bortoleto would be making his debut in the Formula Regional European Championship with FA Racing. [4] He scored his first points in the first race of the season in Imola, where he finished ninth. [5]

FIA Formula 3 Championship

At the end of September, Bortoleto participated in the 2022 FIA Formula 3 post-season test at Jerez with Trident, partnering Oliver Goethe and Leonardo Fornaroli. [6] [7] [8] Shortly afterwards, he was announced as a Trident driver for the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship, becoming the first driver to be announced to a team for that season. [9]

In his first race at the Bahrain International Circuit, Bortoleto was penalised for causing a collision with Rafael Villagómez and was classified outside the points. This was followed by a victory in the following day's feature race when first-place finisher Gabriele Minì received a penalty. Having been elevated to an early championship lead, the Brazilian extended it at Albert Park by claiming pole position and a second consecutive feature race victory. He continued to score points in each race of the subsequent five rounds, even achieving a second place during the feature race at the Red Bull Ring and two runner-up finishes during the sprint races in Britain and Hungary.

Sitting on a comfortable lead at the top of the standings, Bortoleto would proceed to have his first non-scoring race of 2023 at Spa-Francorchamps, as a weak qualifying session was followed by contact caused by Dino Beganovic during Saturday's race, forcing the Brazilian to stop his car. [10] Despite narrowly missing out on points in Sunday's race, a weak round from all of his immediate title rivals left Bortoleto with a 38-point advantage heading into the final round of the season. [11] As Paul Aron and Pepe Martí missed out on pole position during Monza qualifying, Bortoleto was crowned FIA Formula 3 champion on Friday. [12]

FIA Formula 2 Championship

Bortoleto graduates to Formula 2 for his 2024 campaign, joining Invicta Virtuosi Racing alongside Alpine Academy driver Kush Maini. [13]

Formula One

In September 2022, it was announced that Bortoleto had joined A14, two time Formula One champion Fernando Alonso's driver management company. [14] After winning the Formula 3 title, Bortoleto signed with the McLaren Driver Development Programme in October 2023. [15]
