Karting & transition to formula cars

Gabriel Bortoleto started karting at the age of eight. The Brazilian competed in regional races before advancing to national and international competitions. 

He impressively finished third in the OKJ class in both the European and World Championships and secured second place in the WSK Super Master Series.

In 2020, Bortoleto transitioned to single-seaters, competing in the Italian Formula 4 Championship with Prema. He finished fifth in the standings. In 2021 and 2022, the Brazilian raced in the Formula Regional European and Asian Championships.

After gaining experience in formula cars, Gabriel Bortoleto made the step up to the Formula 3 Championship in 2023. 

He signed with the Trident team and had an extremely dominant season, becoming the champion with a 45-point lead over second place. This success led to him joining the McLaren junior team at the end of the season.

Following his successful 2023 season, Bortoleto moved up to Formula 2, driving for the Invicta Racing Team. 

It was another incredibly successful season, as he defeated his title rival Isack Hadjar to become the Formula 2 champion.
