艾伦·麦克尼什盛赞博尔托莱托：具备“巨大潜力”

阿兰·麦克尼什揭示了让加布里埃尔·博托莱托“拥有巨大潜力”的特质
博托莱托一直令奥迪印象深刻，而且不仅仅凭借他的原始速度
奥迪赛车总监阿兰·麦克尼什深入剖析了使加布里埃尔·博托莱托成为一名合格一级方程式车手的心态。
背靠背夺得三级方程式和二级方程式冠军的博托莱托于去年代表这家总部位于欣维尔的车队（当时还是索伯）完成了他的世界锦标赛首秀。
在2025年以19分落后于经验丰富的队友尼克·霍肯伯格的51分之后，博尔托莱托在2026年夏休期前以10比2反超。他可以说是在斯帕-弗朗科尔尚这条新动力单元制造商原本预计会挣扎的赛道上表现最为亮眼，在排位赛获得第九名后，拿下了令人瞩目的第八名。
但这位21岁的巴西车手除了纯粹的表现之外，还以他的心理素质令人印象深刻。
“他在驾驶方式和逐步提升速度方面非常有分析头脑，”麦克尼什对Motorsport.赛车运动网说。“我认为你可以从他这一年的成长以及排位赛中的表现看出这一点，比如在斯帕。
“在卡塔尔的二级方程式比赛中，当他领先时，他驶入维修区，但因为安全车或其他原因维修区关闭了，他不得不重新冲出维修区，由于他压过了白线，被罚了五秒。他如何调整心态然后继续投入比赛，展现了他的心理沉稳。”这位英维柯塔车手率先冲过终点线，但在与现红牛车手伊萨克·哈贾尔的激烈冠军争夺中，处罚使他的名次跌至第三。

“当一名车手拥有心理上的沉稳——就像他那样，既有天生的速度，又有一种分析性的方式来释放这种速度——这会给你带来巨大的潜力。而现在他也开始随着经验的积累而成长，把这种潜力真正兑现。”
“除此之外，我还喜欢他的一点是，在赛场之外他是一个积极乐观、面带笑容的人。所以和他相处很愉快，他在车队里也让我们感到舒服。而且有他和尼科在，我们两人之间取得了非常好的平衡，因为一个拥有经验，能够自然而然、凭直觉地判断风向，另一个则拥有年轻人的热情，而这两者真的能够非常非常好地相互促进。”
当被问及博尔托莱托的职业态度时，麦克尼什表示赞同：“他是一个非常勤奋的人。他绝对是那种——比如说，如果1月2日有一场模拟器训练，他就会出现在模拟器里，和何塞一起工作。而我认为这正是我们目前所需要的东西。我们需要车手来推动我们。我们需要那种在我们需要有人挺身而出、扛起大旗时能够支持我们的车手。他们两人都非常符合这一点，而加比（加布里埃尔·博尔托莱托的昵称）无疑是其中的典型。”

Allan McNish reveals qualities that give Gabriel Bortoleto “a lot of potential”
Bortoleto has been impressing Audi, and not just with his raw speed
Audi racing director Allan McNish has delved into the mindset that makes Gabriel Bortoleto a competent Formula 1 driver.
Back-to-back Formula 3 and Formula 2 champion Bortoleto made his world championship debut with the Hinwil-based outfit (then Sauber) last year.
After being outscored by veteran team-mate Nico Hulkenberg 51-19 in 2025, Bortoleto is now up 10-2 at the 2026 summer break. He arguably shone most at a Spa-Francorchamps track where the new power unit manufacturer expected to struggle, clinching a remarkable eighth-place finish after qualifying ninth.
But the 21-year-old Brazilian has also impressed with his mental skills, on top of pure performance.
“He's very analytical in terms of the way he drives and builds up his speed,” McNish told Motorsport.com. “And I think that's something you can see by the way that he's grown through this year and also through qualifying sessions, like in Spa, for example.
“In Formula 2 in Qatar, when he was leading, he pulled into the pits and they closed the pits due to a safety car or something, and he had to dive back out the pits, and because he crossed the white line, got a five-second penalty. How he reset and then went on in that race showed that he had a mental composure.” The Invicta driver crossed the finish line first, before the penalty dropped him to third, amid a tight title battle against current Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar.

“When you've got a mental composure – like he has the natural speed, but also an analytical way of delivering that speed – [it] gives you a lot of potential. And now he's starting to grow with the experience as well to deliver on it.
“The thing that I like about him in addition to that is out of the car, he's a positive, smiley person. So he's nice to be around, he's nice to have us around in the team as well. And with him and Nico, we've got a very good balance between the two of them because one's got the experience and understands which way the wind blows just naturally and instinctively through that, and the other one's got that youthful enthusiasm, and the two really feed off each other very, very well.”
Pressed on Bortoleto’s work ethic, McNish concurred: “He is a very hard worker. He is definitely the one that, you know, if there's a sim session on 2 January, then he would be in the sim and he'd be working with Jose, his engineer. And it's something that I think we need at the moment as well. We need drivers pushing us. We need drivers that are there supporting us when we need someone to jump in and hold the flag. Both are very much like that, and Gabi's definitely in that vein.”
