Bortoleto Marco replied: I beat the Red Bull drivers.

      In a recent broadcast on Servus TV, Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko called Sauber debutant Gabriel Bortoleto a "Category B racer." In Melbourne, Gabriel responded to the Austrian, reminding him that he had beaten Red Bull representatives in the youth series.

      Gabriel Bortoleto: "I don't care. I've seen that saying, but I like challenges. That's what Helmut said, who brought not only a lot of talent to Formula 1, but also brought in a lot of drivers who didn't have talent. So he's not always right, but he's also wrong. I hope I can prove him wrong this time too.

      No matter what I say now, it won't change Helmut's opinion of me. But the results on the track will change. I am sure that one day I will prove him wrong, and I hope that he will accept it. Right now, I'm focused on my job and making the most of it.

      I'm proud of what I've achieved in the youth series. In Formula 3 and Formula 2, I beat the Red Bull drivers, so I'm good."
