News about Valtteri Bottas

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Zhou Guanyu has issued a staunch defense of his Formula 1 career, and insists that he is not approaching the end of the road - even if he is dropped by Sauber this year. The Chinese driver, 25, is one of four on the grid yet to score a point in the 2024 season, and is currently in a desperate battle with team-mate Valtteri Bottas to secure the one remaining seat for next season. While it is understood that Bottas is the more likely candidate to partner Nico Hulkenberg in the new-look team under Mattia Binotto, Zhou has come out fighting and believes he has what it takes to continue at the top level.

Valtteri Bottas four wheels for two wheels during a week off between Formula 1 races.  The Stake F1 team Kick Sauber driver revealed he competed in the mammoth 108-mile Unbound Gravel race in Emporia, Kansas over the weekend.  The 34-year-old finished 33rd out of more than 1,400 riders, placing second in his age group of men aged 30 to 39.  

Formula One fans have been left baffled by a viral clip showing Valterri Bottas' mechinical failure at Turn 11. This comes as Max Verstappen powered to yet another dominant win in Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix.

Valtteri Bottas, the Finnish Formula One, (pictured left), will be a cult hero in Albert Park this weekend after going the extra mile (right) in recent days to pay tribute to Australian history. The 34-year-old boy is also far from a novice on the grid: he won the race in 2019 at the same venue as before.

Due to stricter advertising legislation in Australia, the constructor, who was previously known as Alfa Romeo, would rename Kick Sauber over the next three days. Stake is an online betting business founded by Australian crypto billionaire Edward Craven, aged 28.

When visiting Melbourne last year, the former Mercedes man rebranded himself as a wannabe Aussie and expressed his passion for Victoria Bitter beer. His conversion to a makeshift Aussie has been influenced in part by his friendship with Australian professional cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, his girlfriend of four years.

The Finnish grand prix star has already well-known for his nude selfies as he F1 racers, and the driver has decided to use his world-famous bum to benefit a good cause.

When he unveiled his skinny dipping session in a lake with only a swimming cap for cover, the Finn left little to the imagination. With his former team chiing in to comment, the ex-Mercedes driver was welcomed with messages of love and dissent on social media: 'Cracking shot, VB.' Pato O'Ward, the IndyCar pilot, more specifically stated: "I can tell you that I'm a skinny dipping enthusiast." 'Valtteri, please stop using this app,' a fan said.'

JONATHAN McEVOY - POLE POSITION: Are the Saudi Arabians about to buy Formula One, a subject given fresh impetus by their effective takeover of golf? My research shows that the owners of grand prix racing in the United States are not ready to sell, and that they would not want to hold the game off to another region even after billions. Never say never. Mind you, this is the worst thing ever said. FIA President Mohammed bin Sulayem is from the UAE, and such a move would cause backlash on that front. When the idea was first mooted a few months ago, he was certainly well-exed.

Sergio Perez has ignited the global championship race by winning his second Grand Prix of the season in Azerbaijan, much to the annoyance of his title-chasing teammate Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver outlasted his colleague to finish over two seconds in front of the reigning world champion and kick-off the season's anticipated rivalry. Mail Sport selects ten things we learned from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Valtteri Bottas has long been known as an honoured Aussie, and now he has a personalised VB longneck (right) saying "true blue Aussie bogan" has been well and truly confirmed. The 33-year-old, who hails from Finland, is dating Aussie pro cyclist Tiffany Cromwell (left) and outside Daniel Ricciardo and Oscar Piastri, who is undoubtedly the most popular driver on the grid Down Under. As he and Cromwell enjoyed an extended holiday, Bottas spent a majority of his last offseason in Australia, sporting a mullet and sporting a VB singlet.

Valtteri Bottas, Finland's F1 star, has embraced Aussie culture like no other and has become one of the most popular drivers at the Australian Grand Prix, sporting singlet and thongs with an iconic mullet haircut. Bottas, the 2019 Australian Grand Prix champion, has been very involved in the build-up to the grand prix, raising funds for a flood-affected kindergarten in Shepparton and other public involvements. Ricky Kildea, an Aboriginal artist's helmet, will be signed and auctioned to raise funds for two Indigenous charities, Save the Children and Koorie Academy Basketball, which will be revealed last week.

Valtteri Bottas has taken his love of all things Australian by becoming the first Formula One driver to try a V8 Supercar. The Finnish sleeve displays his love for Australia proudly on his sleeve, so finding him behind the steering wheel of a Bathurst 1000 winner seems to be the next step. Bottas, the current Australian Grand Prix winner, was a special guest at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and sailed the Holden Commodore around South Australia's historic Formula One and current V8 Supercars circuit.

The first race of the highly awaited 2023 Formula 1 season is scheduled to start tomorrow, putting top drivers from around the world together to see who has the highest results. At the Bahrain International Circuit on March 5th, the first race in the coveted competition will be held, and many of the drivers' stunning wives and girlfriends will be cheering them on from the stands. A lot of the drivers are hired, and being in a race with one of the top racers certainly has its benefits. Many of the drivers' companions have gloried in the numerous upsides that come with dating a well-known celebrity on social media, including luxury flights, private jet rides, invitations to exclusive parties, and dinners at some of the world's best restaurants. Although most of the women are not shy about their glamorous lives, some of them are privileged to remain out of the spotlight and keep their personal lives private, offering them a legion of followers who want to know what it's really like to be a Formula 1 WAG. FEMAIL has taken a look at the drivers' other halves, from their personal lives and accomplishments to how they met their racer beaus and intimate information about their spouses.

HENRY CLARK: This is the scene. It's Sunday afternoon and you're sprawled across the sofa with a cold drink in hand, watching 20 drivers push their spaceship-like cars to their limits around a racetrack. As your hand dives into the snack bowl, a small but nagging part of you asks: 'Sure, these guys drive really fast… but how hard can it be physically for Formula One drivers?' Well, I was about to find out... Sportsmail was invited to the Porsche Human Performance Center in Silverstone, where they promised to recreate the stresses and strains of driving an F1 car on wheels, as well as showing what it takes physically to achieve outstanding results on four wheels.

Valtteri Bottas has adopted a new look at the Formula One off-season, with the Finnish racing driver now sporting a mullet. Bottas, who finished in 10th place in the drivers standings in the 2022 season, is enjoying the off-season, with the campaign ending in Abu Dhabi last month. Bottas has a chance to enjoy some downtime as a result of the 2023 racing calendar gets off on March 5, 2023, with the Bahrain GP.

In his first season with the team, China's first full-time driver has excelled, winning three titles, including on his debut in Bahrain earlier this year. Valtteri Bottas will again collaborate in the 2023 season, with Alfa Romeo praised for his "mature" at just 23 years old. Zhou posted on his Twitter account: 'It's been an absolutely crazy year but I'm proud of everything we have achieved as a team so far! Let's keep going to reach more milestones together.'

After posting a video on Instagram of Valtteri Bottas completely naked, he left little to his fans. With nothing but a festive reindeer hat on his head, the Finnish driver displayed a reel to his 3.4 million followers of him sat in his home sauna, nude. The Alfa Romeo F1 driver says,'singapore prepares for some, Finnish daily ritual for us,' as he adds stones to the fire pit to raise the temperature.'

The seven-time world champion qualified fifth for the championship, but he was kicked to 19th for his fourth power unit of a difficult season for him and his Mercedes team. For the season, each pilot will be limited to three power units. Hamilton joked that owing to likely being trapped in the 'DRS train,' he'd be able to watch Game of Thrones from behind the wheel ahead of Sunday's race.'

The reigning world champion has 109 points on the current standings, and has upgraded a new internal combustion engine ahead of the race in Monza on Sunday. Lewis Hamilton, Sergio Perez, and Carlos Sainz have all been fined for vehicle modifications, with Hamilton and Sainz expected to start from the back of the grid. Verstappen, who has remained to be head and shoulders above everyone else on the grid this year, is unlikely that the penalty will be too much of a problem. He has won four races in a row, starting in Belgium and Hungary's 10th in 2006.

Daniel Ricciardo's future plans in Formula F1 may have been revealed in a pre-race video. Fans are outrage over a two-word name given to the troubled Aussie, who finished 17th at the Dutch Grand Prix, one of his season's worst performances.

Ricciardo's departure was hardly surprising, in fact. Several media outlets had forecast that the 33-year-old's resignation would take some time, with Oscar Piastri casting an alarming shadow over his position, and even veteran's most ardent supporters acknowledge that his results haven't been up to par. Although many foresee Piastri's future, Ricciardo's next steps seem to be all the more uncertain. Ricciardo's pedigree will unquestionably be of concern to some teams lower down the grid, but a look at his 2022 record makes for no compelling argument for the Aussie.

Lewis Hamilton made a stylish appearance at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday when he attended. With vibrant pink and peach hues, the racing driver, 37, caught the eye in Marcelo Bulon trousers.

'I can't believe you f***** f***** me,' Hamilton screamed. I can't tell you how ****** I am.' That was after his team left him out on medium tyres 15 laps from the end, when all around him put on the faster softs during a safety car phase brought about by Valtteri Bottas' resignation in a straight. It went from first to fourth in the 72-lap race's closing dozen laps. The Silver Arrows were humiliated all round. Mercedes boffins were to blame, but Hamilton Hamilton was to blame, too. He may have asked for the mediums but apparently didn't. On the restart of Hamilton, Verstappen (pictured) sliced straight across Hamilton. George Russell, his coworker, finished second, after yelling down Hamilton to start the expletive-laden diatribe. That was lap 64. Charles Leclerc roared past Hamilton to claim third position for Ferrari after another roar. That was lap 65.
