168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso has leapt to the defence of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gabriel Bortoleto iꦜn the wake of criti𝔍cism from Red Bull’s Helmut Marko.

Asked to assess F1 2025’s rookie crop, Marko gave Bortoleto a “B” rating as he placed the drivers into three categories, while including Red Bull junior 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Isack Hadjar in the “A” group.

Bor🐻toleto earned an F1 seat with Sauber after winning back-to-back titles in Formula 3 and Formula 2, where he beat new Racing Bulls driver Hadjar by 22.5 points.

And two-time world champion Alonso has strongly backed the ♛20-year-old Brazilian who is signed to his A14 management stable in response to Marko’s꧃ comments.

“I think Helmut has to defend his drivers,” Alonso said. “I think the facts are a little bit stronger than Helmut’s w♎ords.

“I think maybe it refers to last year’s F2 [championship] with Isack and Gabriel. They finished 1-2, they both have incredible talent, and they🎐 both are in F1, which is a great sign. Let’s see what the future brings.

“I hope for both to have a very long and successful career, but what Gabriel꧒ di🌱d, winning F3 and F2 in his rookie seasons… I think the future will tell, but I’m happy and proud of Gabriel.”

How Bortoleto responded to Marko 

Bortoleto gave a firm but respectful answ♈er when he was asked to give his thoughts on Marko’s verdict.

“I think Helmut is a guy that is for a very long time in F1,” he said. “He has put a lot of 🌌very talented ඣdrivers in F1 in the past, but he also put probably more drivers that failed to be in F1.

“I have – to be honest – respect for him, for the achievements with the drivers that he put [in F1]. Max Verstappen, for me, is one 🐓of𒁃 the greatest of the sport.

“Everyone can hav༺e opinion🔯s. We live in a free world. I think he has his opinions about me. I think I proved myself to be in F1. I won F3 and F2 as a rookie.”

Bortoleto vowed to prove Marko wrong and make ꧙him “regret what he said”.

“I’m going to prove him wrong with time,” he continued. “I✨t’s just a matter of time. Nothing I can say to the media right now will change his mind, because he’s just talking꧅ and talking.

“The only thing I can do now is head to the track and prove that his argument was wrong. Hopefully, with time, he will admit, ‘OK, my opinion wasn’t right’, and 🍷he will regret what he said.

“But I’ve done this inꦏ the past as well. I’ve said things probably that I regret and I don’t agree [with] nowadays. It’s normal. I’m not going to make a big thing about it.”
