Bortoleto also finished fourth in the rookies' standings.[citation needed]
Formula Regional European Championship
edit
In March 2021 it was announced that Bortoleto would be making his debut in theFormula Regional European ChampionshipwithFA Racing,run byMP Motorsport.[10]He scored his first points in the first race of the season in Imola, where he finished ninth.[11]From there it took until the seventh round at theRed Bull Ringuntil Bortoleto scored again — this time claiming a podium in the second race.[12]This began a run of top ten finishes, resulting in 15th place in the standings at the end of the year.
After competing for 3Y byR-ace GPin a partial campaign of theFormula Regional Asian Championshipat the start of 2022, where he won in a reversed-top-ten race atYas Marina,Bortoleto was announced to join R-ace GP ahead of theEuropean Championship.[13]While Bortoleto suffered with engine problems at times during the year, he manged to win atSpa,inheriting victory after teammateHadrien Davidwas penalised, and atBarcelona.[14][15][16]He ended up sixth overall, being beaten by David but dispatching other teammateLorenzo Fluxá.[17]
FIA Formula 3 Championship
edit
At the end of September, Bortoleto participated in the2022 FIA Formula 3post-season test atJerezwithTrident,partneringOliver GoetheandLeonardo Fornaroli.[18][19][20]Shortly afterwards, he was announced as a Trident driver for the2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship,becoming the first driver to be announced to a team for that season.[21]
In his first race at theBahrain International Circuit,Bortoleto was penalised for causing a collision withRafael Villagómezand was classified outside the points. This was followed by a victory in the following day's feature race when first-place finisherGabriele Minìreceived a penalty. Having been elevated to an early championship lead, the Brazilian extended it atAlbert Parkby 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 theRed Bull Ringand two runner-up finishes during the sprint races inBritainandHungary.
Sitting on a comfortable lead at the top of the standings, Bortoleto would proceed to have his first non-scoring race of 2023 atSpa-Francorchamps,as a weak qualifying session was followed by contact caused byDino Beganovicduring Saturday's race, forcing the Brazilian to stop his car.[22]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.[23]AsPaul AronandPepe Martímissed out on pole position duringMonzaqualifying, Bortoleto was crowned FIA Formula 3 champion on Friday.[24]
FIA Formula 2 Championship
edit
Bortoleto enteredFormula 2for his2024 campaign,joiningInvictaVirtuosi RacingalongsideAlpine AcademydriverKush Maini.[25]He began the season by qualifying second for the season opener inBahrainbut was promoted to pole position after Maini was disqualified for a technical infringement. He scored points in both races, despite making contact with and spinning aroundIsack Hadjarat the start of the feature race.[26]At the next round inJeddahBortoleto qualified 15th, finished tenth in the sprint and retired on lap 1 of the feature race with a driveshaft failure.[27]He also retired from the sprint race atMelbourneafter being sent into the wall byPepe Martí,who had been squeezed by Hadar at the start, and also failed to finish the feature race thanks to a hydraulic failure.[28][29]
Bortoleto bounced back by taking pole for the round inImolaand scoring his first points since Bahrain during the sprint, finishing sixth.[30]Though he fell down to fourth at the start of Sunday's event, Bortoleto moved back to second after the pit stop phase; he chased down Hadjar but could not pass him before the race ended, claiming his first podium in F2 with second place.[31]He then qualified ninth inMonacoand finished the sprint race in second, having started from the front row due to the reverse-top-ten format.[32]He then finished the feature in eighth. More points followed in bothBarcelonaraces, though Bortoleto was demoted from seventh to tenth in the feature after causing a collision with his teammate on the final lap.[33]
InAustriaBortoleto qualified fourth and progressed from eighth to fourth during the sprint race, though he narrowly lost out on a podium toPaul Aron.[34]On Sunday, Bortoleto passed race leaderJoshua Dürksenon lap 4 and later overtook Martí, who had jumped him by pitting during a virtual safety car, to claim his maiden F2 victory and enter the top three in the championship.[35][36]He progressed further with two points results atSilverstonebut was penalised again due to a battle with Maini, this time being demoted from third to fourth after a last-lap overtake was judged to have happened off-track.[37]In theBudapestsprint race Bortoleto struggled with tyre wear on his soft tyres, dropping to 16th, and finished fourth in the feature race after losing the podium toRichard Verschooron the final lap.[38][39]For the final round before the summer break inBelgiumBortoleto qualified second and fought for the victory with Hadjar, eventually ending up second and moving up to said place in the standings after a late technical issue ended Aron's race.[40]
Bortoleto's start to theMonzaround was a disaster: he spun in qualifying before setting a time, therefore necessitating a start from last place for both races.[41]In the sprint race, Bortoleto charged through to eighth, sharing the final point withDennis Haugerafter crossing the finish line in adead heat.[42]It would however be the feature race where Bortoleto experienced his standout result of the entire year: he benefited from an opportune safety car, which, following his pit stop, allowed him to stay ahead of all drivers who had stopped prior to its deployment. Bortoleto drove out a gap to take a last-to-first victory and benefited from Hadjar's scoreless weekend to close up in the championship.[43]He became the first driver to win from last on the grid in Formula 2.[44]This performance later earned him theMecachromeOutstanding Win Award at the end-of-year prize giving ceremony.[45]
In theBakuround, Bortoleto finished the sprint race in fifth place and the main race in fourth, taking the lead in the drivers' championship by 4.5 points over Hadjar.[46]Bortoleto qualified second inQatarand finished fifth on Saturday. He then took the lead from Aron at the start of the feature race, only to be penalised for crossing the pit entry line behind the pit bollard when avoiding the pit lane entrance during a virtual safety car deployment. Though he progressed through the pack and crossed the line in first, Bortoleto was demoted behind Aron and Hadjar in the results, meaning that he and Hadjar would go into the season finale with a gap of half a point.[47][48]
Bortoleto qualified second again onYas Island.[49]A charge from ninth to second in the sprint allowed him to enter the final race with a four-point advantage, as Hadjar finished fifth.[50]The start of the feature race decided the championship fight, as Hadjar stalled on the grid. Bortoleto meanwhile took the lead fromVictor Martinsat turn one and although he was later overtaken by Dürksen following the pit stop phase, Bortoleto finished second and was crowned Formula 2 champion.[51]He became the fourth champion in the FIA Formula 2 era to win the FIA F3 and F2 titles in successive years, followingCharles Leclerc,George Russell,andOscar Piastri,as well as the second Brazilian to triumph in the category afterFelipe Drugovichin2022.[52]

Around the time that he completed his first test,Sauber MotorsportCOO and CTOMattia Binottomarked Bortoleto as one of the contenders for a seat at Kick Sauber in2025,ahead of their takeover byAudi.[56]Then three-time Formula One world championMax Verstappenand race winnerOscar Piastriendorsed Bortoleto to be selected, with Piastri sharing his experience of not getting a seat immediately after winning the2021 Formula 2 Championshipand his hope that Bortoleto would avoid such a situation.[57]Furthermore, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella revealed he would allow Bortoleto to leave their academy for Sauber if needed, praising him for his performances in his junior career.[58]
Sauber (2025–present)
editDuring the weekend of the2024 São Paulo Grand Prix,rumors emerged that Bortoleto had signed a contract with Sauber for the 2025 season.[59]Sauber confirmed this on 6 November 2024, announcing that Bortoleto would partnerNico Hülkenbergon a multi-year deal from 2025 onwards; the two will replace outgoing duoValtteri BottasandZhou Guanyu.[1]Consequently, Bortoleto was released from McLaren at the end of 2024.[60]He became the first F2 champion to be directly promoted to a racing seat in Formula One sinceMick Schumacher's promotion toHaasin2021after winning the2020 Formula 2championship.
