Everyone’s watching the front of the F1 grid, but it’s time to pay attention to the rookie quietly building something special at the back: Gabriel Bortoleto.

Gabriel Bortoleto isn’t just another new face on the Formula 1 grid...he’s a proven champion taking his first steps with Sauber in the toughest of conditions. With no FP1 sessions, limited testing, and a car barely clinging to the midfield, Bortoleto’s F1 journey mirrors that of George Russell at Williams in his rookie year. But just like Russell, who transformed those tough early years into title-contending consistency, Bortoleto is showing the same signs of focus, resilience, and long-game thinking. His work ethic has already turned heads at Sauber, with Mattia Binotto and Jonathon Wheatley both praising his maturity and technical feedback during pre-season testing. And with Nico Hülkenberg as a mentor, the Brazilian rookie is soaking up knowledge that could shape his future rise.
What sets Bortoleto apart is more than just his results, it’s how he’s preparing behind the scenes and refusing to let a slow start define him. In a sport that often forgets about anyone outside the top 10, Bortoleto is grinding, learning, and slowly turning heads. For Brazil, he's not just a new driver, he's a spark of hope in a country still waiting for its next F1 hero and maybe could see a couple more of their own join Gabi in the years to come - Rafael Camara? Felipe Drugovich FINALLY? If you think there's no story worth watching at the back of the grid, think again. This is the kind of quiet beginning that often leads to something great.
The Next George Russell Is Already on the F1 Grid
