Gabriel Lourenzo Bortoleto Oliveira (Brazilian Portuguese: [ɡa.bɾiˈɛw lo(w)ˈɾẽ.su boʁ.tuˈlɛ.tu o.liˈve(j).ɾɐ]; born 14 October 2004) is a Brazilian racing driver, who is set to compete in Formula One for Sauber.

Born and raised in São Paulo, Bortoleto began competitive kart racing aged seven, winning multiple national titles and graduating to junior formulae in 2020. A protégé of two-time World Drivers' Champion Fernando Alonso, Bortoleto soon became a race-winner in Italian F4 and Formula Regional European, before winning his first title at the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship with Trident. Bortoleto progressed to FIA Formula 2 in 2024, winning the championship that year with Invicta to become the seventh driver in history to win the GP2/Formula 2 title in their rookie season; at the Monza feature race, Bortoleto became the first driver to win from last on the grid in either Formula 2 or Formula One.

A member of the McLaren Driver Development Programme from 2023 to 2024, Bortoleto completed his first Formula One test at the Red Bull Ring in September 2024, driving the McLaren MCL36. He is set to join Sauber in Formula One for the 2025 season onwards, ahead of their acquisition by Audi in 2026.^[1]
