McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says the team won’t stand in protege Gabriel Bortoleto’s way if Sauber wants to offer him a Formula 1 race seat, but would rather sanction a loan move than let the youngster go definitively.
Bortoleto recently emerged as one of the main contenders to partner Nico Hulkenberg at the future Audi team, alongside incumbent Valtteri Bottas and reserve driver Theo Pourchaire, while Franco Colapinto also cannot be ruled out after the Argentine’s impressive outing at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend.
