Four blanks and then a points finish. That’s the shape of Bortoleto’s last five races and the Mexico City result breaks what had become a stubborn run of nothing. Before that, a retirement in Singapore, a lapped finish in Austin and two races where he slipped backwards from reasonable grid positions in Baku and Malaysia. The pattern across those four was a car that couldn’t hold what qualifying gave it.
Mexico City changes the read slightly. P8 from P13 is a genuine gain and it’s the first time in five rounds he’s added to his tally. Whether it signals a turn or just a one-off is the question heading into the final stretch, but for a driver still in his second F1 season after debuting with Sauber in 2025, any upward movement matters.
Latest Race
Bortoleto finished P8 from P13 on the grid at the Mexico City Grand Prix, scoring four points. The five-place gain was his best result across the last five races and his first points since before the Singapore weekend. It keeps him in the championship picture at P14 but the gap to the points positions above him means every finish like this counts.
2026 So Far
Bortoleto sits P14 in the drivers’ championship with 14 points, a tally that reflects a season of inconsistency rather than outright pace deficit. The trajectory has been lumpy: points finishes interrupted by retirements and lapped results. Now in his second F1 season, having moved from Sauber to Audi for 2026, he’s yet to register a podium or a win across 43 career starts and this season’s position is unlikely to represent his ceiling if the car finds more stability.
