For the first time since 2017, Brazilians will watch a home Formula One hero race around Aut\u00f3dromo Jos\u00e9 Carlos Pace, more commonly known as Interlagos, this weekend.<\/p>\n
Now, Gabriel Bortoleto heads to Interlagos while making his case to be F1\u2019s 2025 rookie of the year. One thing motivates the 21-year-old: Becoming an F1 world champion.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe a dreamer. Don\u2019t give up,\u201d Bortoleto tells The Athletic when asked what he wants people to take away from his story. \u201cIf I did it, everyone can do it. I\u2019m no better than anyone. I\u2019m not born with anything else.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about how much work you put into things, how much love you have into what you do, and how much you want things. Nothing will stop you, ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
