Bortoleto disagrees with Alonso over 2026 F1 criticismGabriel Bortoleto has broken ranks with mentor Fernando Alonso by defending Formula 1's much-criticised 2026 regulations. There is not any driver input, or driver talent needed to overtake a car in front of you, Alonso said. "You don't need to out-brake anyone, you don't need to overtake on the outside, you don't need to take any risk. With the 2026 cars, we've opened a new chapter, said the Brazilian. He also described Alonso as the most intelligent driver on the current grid.
