Gabriel Bortoleto expects to stay with Audi for the next few seasons, according to Motorsport.com. There is no official confirmation in the supplied sources, so any long-term arrangement remains at the reported stage.

Motorsport.com said the Brazilian joined the team in 2025 for Sauber’s final season before Audi’s full Formula 1 entry and scored 19 points in his rookie campaign. Bortoleto is 14th in the 2026 drivers' championship on 10 points, and the 21-year-old has made 33 Formula 1 starts across 2025 and 2026 for Sauber and Audi.

RaceFans has also described Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg as one of the closest-matched team-mate pairings on the 2026 grid. That adds context to the reported expectation of continuity, but without an official announcement in the source material, it should not be treated as confirmed.
