Gabriel Bortoleto, the Audi Revolut F1 Team driver, is looking forward to the upcoming Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit, where he will experience the SIC for the first time. The 21-year-old expressed his hope for rain during the race, as the cooler temperatures associated with wet weather could make racing more comfortable.
Bortoleto also mentioned the circuit's history of sudden tropical downpours and its memorable wet-weather races, including the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix. He has received a warm welcome in Malaysia and has been exploring the island's attractions alongside other F1 drivers. The Bahrain GP was confirmed as the host race for the 2026 F1 calendar after the event was cancelled earlier this season due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
