In 2023, Gabriel Bortoleto won the Formula 3 title in his first attempt. Since this season, Fernando Alonso’s A14 management has taken over the Brazilian driver’s career, and according to Bortoleto, the Formula 1 champion’s advice has helped in many ways helped to achieve high results.
Gabriel Bortoleto: “Fernando is not just a legend in Formula 1. He has competed in many other racing series and won them all. Fernando is not only my manager, he is also my idol, because from my early childhood he won the championship in which I dreamed to participate: in Formula 1.
Now Alonso is my manager and he gives advice that helped me a lot before the stages in Bahrain, Melbourne and Monaco. There is no doubt that he has contributed greatly to my performance this season.
In Melbourne I won the Sunday race for the second time in a row and took the lead in the championship. I remember Fernando sending me a 10 minute voice message on WhatsApp afterwards. He said a lot of nice things, but also reminded me that I have to win other races, and if I have problems during the season then I have to try to finish in the top five every time.
I had to accept that winning is not always possible, but I do have to earn points regularly. Fernando convinced me of this: if such a person says something, it is better to listen to him.
