Gabriel Bortoleto Pranks Nico Hulkenberg at United States Grand Prix

At the United States Grand Prix, Gabriel Bortoleto entertained fans by pranking his Audi teammate Nico Hulkenberg during a public appearance at the Circuit of the Americas.

As the two drivers were greeted by enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Bortoleto unexpectedly pulled down Hulkenberg's trousers, prompting laughter and applause from the crowd. Hulkenberg responded with humor, quickly adjusting his clothing.

This light-hearted moment came amid a challenging weekend for Bortoleto, who is set to start the race from the back of the grid due to exceeding his power unit component allocation. The duo, teammates since 2025, have maintained a jovial partnership despite the team's struggles in the constructors' championship, where they currently sit eighth with 23 points.
