Bortoleto predicts difficult Canadian GP start for Audi

Gabriel Bortoleto expects to drop positions at the start of Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix unless he achieves a strong getaway while rivals struggle. The Audi driver voiced concerns after a challenging qualifying session in Montreal.

Bortoleto qualified 13th for the race while teammate Nico Hulkenberg took 11th. Both drivers lost four spots at the start of the preceding sprint event, a pattern Bortoleto linked to the team's power unit performance. He described the issues as centered on driveability and power rather than the chassis.

He emphasized the need to address this as rivals close in.
