F1 star burgled in Switzerland, nearly misses Canadian GP

Gabriel Bortoleto news

Formula One driver Gabriel Bortoleto narrowly avoided missing the Canadian Grand Prix after his car was burgled in Zurich, Switzerland, just days before the race.

Thieves stole a backpack containing multiple passports, his computer, and all his racing gear while he dined near the Sauber team’s headquarters. The 20-year-old Brazilian had to quickly secure alternative travel documents and use a second passport to reach Montreal, more than 4,000 miles away, just in time for the weekend event. The incident caused major disruption to his race preparations.
