Bortoleto: ¿Mejor debutante? Me nombraré a mí mismo, Isaac — a mí mismo.

      Gabriel Bortoleto afronta con confianza su temporada de debut en la Fórmula 1, habiendo sumado 19 puntos. En el circuito de Interlagos, en su pista de casa, al piloto de Sauber le preguntaron cómo evalúa él mismo sus actuaciones este año en comparación con otros debutantes.

      Gabriel Bortoleto: «Es muy difícil comparar a los novatos entre sí, porque todos tenemos coches distintos. A algunos les va mejor, a otros peor, pero siempre será así. La única forma de evaluar las actuaciones es comparar los resultados con los del compañero de equipo y valorar actuaciones concretas.

      Estoy orgulloso de cómo he afrontado la temporada. Ha sido muy positiva. El inicio fue complicado por el coche, pero poco a poco trajimos actualizaciones que nos permitieron luchar por los puntos. Entré en la fase final de la clasificación cuatro o cinco veces. Estoy bastante satisfecho y creo que he hecho una buena temporada.

      Si tuviera que elegir al mejor debutante, me nombraría a mí mismo. Pero Isaac Hadjar, de la misma manera, se nombrará a sí mismo, y eso no cambia nada. No tenemos un mini-campeonato por el título de mejor novato.

      Isaac está teniendo un gran año, pero en las últimas tres o cuatro carreras Oliver Bearman ha rendido de forma excelente. Su Gran Premio de México fue increíble. Si no hubieran sido las tres últimas carreras, habría valorado más a Isaac, pero ahora Oliver también está bien».

On Thursday Sebastian Vettel appeared in the paddock at the São Paulo circuit, although it wasn't only because he missed the Formula 1 atmosphere. The four-time world champion combines meeting former colleagues and fans with taking part in environmental initiatives.

This time it was an initiative aimed at saving South America's tropical forests, which Pierre Gasly, Franco Colapinto and Valtteri Bottas also joined. But of course journalists couldn't help but ask Sebastian for his view on the championship situation, where the fight for the title is heating up, since he knows from personal experience what that's like.

On Sky Italia he was asked whether Max Verstappen could this year repeat what Sebastian himself achieved in 2010. Back then, 15 years ago, after the race in Monza he was 24 points behind Mark Webber, his Red Bull Racing team-mate. At that point the Australian was leading the drivers' standings, but then Fernando Alonso overtook him; however Vettel gradually cut the deficit and ultimately became world champion – for the first time in his career.

"Could Max win in Brazil, like I did that year, and then go on to become champion? Why not — I think he's capable of it!" Sebastian replied. "There are still a lot of points to be contested, although it's clear the favorite right now isn't him but Lando Norris, who tops the standings.

"However, we can't predict how the coming weekend will pan out, because races in São Paulo often follow a completely mad script. Surprises are always possible at this track, so we'll see how it all goes. But it's very interesting to watch the races right now, and if Max keeps cutting the gap it'll be even more so. In short, I wish him to score points here too!" On Thursday Sebastian Vettel appeared in the paddock at the São Paulo circuit, although it wasn't only because he missed the Formula 1 atmosphere.

Because of Alpine's decision to stop upgrading the A525 fairly early, the team is currently uncompetitive, but Pierre hopes the decisions made will pay off next year.

Pierre Gasly: "I don't think we'll be more competitive at this track than at previous rounds. We fully understand our capabilities, but we still try to do our best every weekend. At Interlagos the weather can interfere with how things unfold — in the past we've already seen some crazy races here.

The team knows that in terms of car speed we've taken a step back, since we stopped developing the car several months ago. But we're okay and we know there are four race weekends ahead in which we'll try to fight, and then we'll fully switch to next year's car project.

In a way I feel like I'm sitting on two chairs. On the one hand, it's been very hard for all of us in the team this year because we're uncompetitive for reasons we know and because of the decisions that were made. But on the other hand, we hope all these decisions will pay off in 2026. I believe that.

I can see the work on the new car progressing. Everyone is giving their all, everyone's hugely motivated, and that's great, but it feels like this season is lasting a very long time."
