O Brasil voltou a ter dois pilotos no grid da F1. Rafael Câmara e Gabriel Bortoleto estiveram nesta quinta-feira no tradicional media day em Interlagos, em São Paulo. É a primeira vez que o país tem dois pilotos na principal categoria do automobilismo mundial.
Câmara estreia na F1 pela Haas neste fim de semana. Ele lidera a F2 em 2026, foi campeão da F3 em 2025 e tem histórico cheio de conquistas nas categorias de acesso.
Titular da F1 desde 2025, quando ainda competia pela Sauber e hoje na Audi, Bortoleto cumprimentou o compatriota e chega animado para a prova depois de um oitavo lugar no México, na semana anterior.
O GP São Paulo larga neste domingo, às 14h.
