Gabriel Bortoleto Oliveira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɡa.bɾiˈɛw boʁ.tuˈlɛ.tu o.liˈve(j).ɾɐ]; born 14 October 2004) is a Brazilian racing driver, currently competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship for Invicta Racing.

A protégé of two-time Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso, Bortoleto graduated from karting to junior formulae in 2020. He won his first championship at the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship with Trident Motorsport. Having also been a race winner in Italian F4 and the Formula Regional European Championship, Bortoleto progressed to Formula 2 in 2024. At the Monza feature race that year, Bortoleto received widespread acclaim for his win from last on the grid, becoming the first driver to do so in either Formula 2 or Formula One.[1]

A member of the McLaren Driver Development Programme since 2023, Bortoleto completed his first Formula One test at the Red Bull Ring in September 2024, driving the McLaren MCL36.[2]
