Gabriel Bortoleto asked some question to Max Verstappen to be ready for the Dutch GP, bis answer to the brazilian question made everyone laugh!

Gabriel Bortoleto hitted Zandvoort for the first time as a F1 official driver during the free practice, to be ready for the Dutch GP he asked to Max Verstappen how to do turn 3. The answer to this question made everyone laugh during the FIA press conference.

Low line or high line?

Gabriel Bortoleto admitted that he asked to Max some hint for the track, even if he also did his homework at the simulator and in the factory: "Yeah, I asked him a few things like I always do, to be honest. So, it's not specific here, but I think what I am more curious about is the banking with the Formula 1 car – quite a big car – and the banking, it's a different feeling I have not experienced this year yet. So, I'm looking forward to driving in T3. Last corner should be flat, so shouldn't be a big thing, but all this section of corners looks interesting. I did some laps in the sim, in the factory and at home as well, so prepared myself and looking forward to the weekend here."

Also he was asked about how to do turn 3 and he tried to get the final advice from who is seeming to be his mentor, Max Verstappen: "Well, I think everyone has been doing high line since the beginning. Unless... what do you think? Low line?"

Max, who won three times in a row from 2021 to 2023 his own home GP, answered: "Low line is not possible. The apex basically is too flat. They should have banked that as well, then it gives you an opportunity, but they didn't. Try, yeah. Just send it in. Four cars. Just don't hit me."
