Audi seeks recovery after the Miami stage and bets on a more consistent execution from the start of activities in Montreal: “I’m excited to return to Canada. Montreal usually provides very good races and the atmosphere around, both on the track and in the city, always makes the weekend special for drivers and fans,” said Bortoleto.

The driver emphasized that quick adaptation to the car will be decisive due to the Sprint format, which limits preparation time. “Having raced here last year, I am well familiar with the importance of being comfortable with the car immediately, especially because this is a Sprint event.”

The Brazilian is in 15th place in the drivers’ championship, with two points scored, the only ones for Audi this season so far. The Canadian GP takes place between May 22 and 24, with LIVE coverage from F1MANIA.NET.
