Why it’s Bottas out, Bortoleto in for Sauber in 2025

  • Summary

  • Join Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm as they discuss Audi/Sauber's decision to sign F2 championship-leader Gabriel Bortoleto to partner Nico Hulkenberg for 2025 and beyond, in the process saying goodbye to Valtteri Bottas, who for a long time looked favourite to retain his seat. Amongst other things, they discuss why Audi/Sauber have opted for youth over experience, whether there's a risk with Bortoleto beginning his F1 career in uncompetitive machinery, why McLaren were happy to let the talented Brazilian go to another team, and what all this means for Bottas' F1 career. Plus, with Zhou Guanyu also out of a drive, they ask what's next for the Chinese driver. Want extra podcast content and to ask questions on the show? Join The Race Members' Club on Patreon!
