Audi is reportedly planning a very interesting signing. The Germans, who are entering Formula 1, have already signed Nico Hülkenberg, and since they missed out on Carlos Sainz, they are deciding to make a bold move…
Instead of keeping Guanyu Zhou or Valtteri Bottas, newly arrived Mattia Binotto has proposed a completely surprising new alternative. According to Italian reports, the specialist would rather have McLaren junior Gabriel Bortoleto in the team instead of the beaten figures.
The 19-year-old Brazilian F3 champion is currently in his first year in F2, where he sits second in the drivers' standings more than halfway through the season, 36 points behind leader Isack Hadjar. This is an absolutely fantastic result, and to top it all off, he is also the reserve driver for the McLaren F1 team, who is doing important development work in the simulator. What would you say about Bortoletó at Audi?
