Autosport Q+A: Gabriel Bortoleto to Sauber, Is Norris World Champion Material?

Autosport F1 & Motorsport

In the first episode of a brand new series, Bryn Lucas hosts Ben Hunt and Kevin Turner on the Autosport Podcast in a fan Q+A edition of the show.

There's a discussion on the breaking news story of the day with Sauber announcing one of the final seats for 2025 as Formula 2 Championship Leader and former McLaren junior driver Gabriel Bortoleto will be joining the team, with both current drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu leaving at season's end. Kev and Ben wonder if Gabriel is worthy of the leap to F1, what's next for the departing Sauber drivers, and the change of hiring culture in the sport with four rookies set to debut next year.

There are also more of your questions in the aftermath of the Brazilian Grand Prix, such as whether Lando Norris is World Champion material, how Lewis Hamilton will fare at Ferrari given his recent struggles on track, and whether Franco Colapinto will get picked up at RB for 2025.
