F1 star compared with world champion in hysterical semi-nude display

Valtteri Bottas has been compared with a former F1 world champion after posting a video of himself running through California in speedos.

The Finnish driver experienced a tough season with Alfa Romeo but will return to the paddock with Sauber for another season in 2024.

Bottas spends much of his free time away from the sport exploring various parts of the world, and this December he has taken the time to visit the United States.

In a video posted on X, he can be seen running across a beach in California – enjoying the lovely sunshine that the state has to offer.

Thank you California!

I’m out ??

Fans have drawn some fascinating conclusions from the video, including someone who believes that he looks like Finnish compatriot and 1982 Formula 1 world champion – Keke Rosberg, who also sported a famous and fabulous moustache.

Keke Rosberg vibes.
