Sauber confirm Gabriel Bortoleto signing for F12025

Sauber/Audi have already confirmed the signing of Nico Hulkenberg, who will race with the team in 2025 and when new regulations sweep into the sport in 2026, having signed a long-term contract.

Many drivers have been rumoured to be his team-mate for 2025 including Bottas, Zhou, Franco Colapinto, Daniel Ricciardo and Gabriel Bortoleto.

And it's Bortoleto who has been chosen to partner Hulkenberg for next season.

Brazilian star Bortoleto currently sits at the top of the F2 championship standings with just two races left in their series.

The McLaren junior driver has been involved in a fierce championship battle with Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar all season long, with the pair also being linked with full-time seats on the F1 grid.

The Brazilian will partner Hulkenberg from the 2025 season onwards, with the team releasing a post on X claiming he had 'joined the chat.'
