Audi driver Gabriel Bortoleto and Red Bull's Max Verstappen are close friends outside of Formula 1, with the pair often seen racing together during online gaming sessions. Motorsport.com can confirm that the Brazilian asked the four-time champion how Red Bull grew into a championship-winning team as he looks to apply these learnings to Audi.
This is Bortoleto's second season in the championship and first with Audi as a full works team. He sits 15th in the drivers' standings on 10 points, with Audi eighth in the constructors' standings thanks to his and team-mate Nico Hulkenberg's efforts. The German, in comparison, has scored 13 points.
