Career

Karting career

Bortoleto started karting in his native Brazil in 2012 in the Campeonato Sulbrasileiro de Kart. He remained in karts until 2019, with his most successful year being 2018, where he finished third in the European and World Championships in the OKJ-category respectively, and became vice-champion in both the WSK Super Master Series and the Andrea Margutti Trophy.[1]

Lower formula

Bortoleto made his car racing debut in the 2020 Italian F4 Championship, partnering Sebastian Montoya, Gabriele Minì and Dino Beganovic at Prema Powerteam.[2] His first podium came at Mugello, where he scored second, third, and a victory, taking his first single-seater win in the fourth round of the season.[3] The Brazilian scored two more podiums in Monza and finished the season fifth in the overall championship, ahead of Montoya but behind teammates Beganovic and eventual champion Minì. Bortoleto also finished fourth in the rookies' standings.

In March 2021 it was announced that Bortoleto would be making his debut in the Formula Regional European Championship with FA Racing.[4] He scored his first points in the first race of the season in Imola, where he finished ninth.[5]

FIA Formula 3 Championship

At the end of September, Bortoleto participated in the 2022 FIA Formula 3 post-season test at Jerez with Trident, partnering Oliver Goethe and Leonardo Fornaroli.[6][7][8] Shortly afterwards, he was announced as a Trident driver for the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship, becoming the first driver to be announced to a team for that season.[9]

Formula One

In September 2022, Bortoleto was announced to join two time Formula One champion Fernando Alonso's management team.[10]
