Gabriel Bortoleto on his ‘dream’ F1 deal, Alonso’s guidance + racing for Brazil

Brazil’s newest Formula 1 driver Gabriel Bortoleto joins Tom Clarkson, 1996 World Champion Damon Hill and former Brazilian F1 racer Luciano Burti to discuss his rise to the pinnacle of motorsport with Sauber in 2025.

Why has Bortoleto chosen Sauber? Why have they chosen him? And what does this mean to fans in Brazil?

Gabriel also talks about the influence his manager, two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso, has had on his career, whether this announcement takes the pressure off his Formula 2 title challenge, and which driver on the current grid he admires the most.

Plus, Tom, Damon and Luciano discuss what's next for Sauber’s outgoing drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, and the impact Bortoleto’s move has on the rest of the driver market.
