Mini bio
How it started.
Gabriel grew up in Brazil with Ayrton Senna as his racing idol. Audi’s biography says he first drove a kart at six and moved to Europe at eleven to pursue racing. In 2020 he stepped into single-seaters in Italian Formula 4 with Prema, then spent two seasons in Formula Regional.
The breakthrough.
His rookie Formula 3 season with Trident brought the 2023 drivers’ championship. A year later he won Formula 2 with Invicta Racing. His Monza Feature Race victory, from 22nd and last on the grid, became one of the defining drives of that title campaign.
Into Formula 1.
Managed by Fernando Alonso’s A14 Management, Gabriel graduated to Sauber alongside Nico Hulkenberg in 2025. He scored his first F1 points in Austria and reached sixth in Hungary. When Sauber became Audi’s works team in 2026, he stayed with the project and scored its first points in Melbourne.
