Gabriel Bortoleto: I'm not claiming points right now.

      Gabriel Bortoleto is one of four drivers who have not earned any points this season. At the FIA press conference in Jeddah, the Sauber driver said that at the moment the car's speed does not allow him to expect to finish in the top ten.

      Gabriel Bortoleto: "I'm looking forward to the start of the weekend. The last race in Bahrain turned out to be difficult – I was stuck behind Lance Stroll and couldn't overtake him. Like the team, I still have a lot to learn, but we will try to use everything we have already learned in Jeddah.

      Moving from Formula 2 to Formula 1 is not easy. Last year, I fought for victories and podiums, won the title, and now, if everything is done perfectly, then in the best case, I will enter the second part of qualifying.

      Remember how George Russell's career began. I don't think he's earned even one point at all, but now he's consistently finishing on the podium and fighting for high results. I need to keep learning and getting better. If we're realistic about our form, then I'm not claiming points, but anything can happen in racing, so we can't afford to give up.

      You just need to be patient, but that's not news. I didn't expect that from the very beginning of the season I would be fighting for podiums or points. That's the reality."
