Sky Sports F1 pundit and huge cricket fan Karun Chandhok has compared Valtteri Bottas to iconic cricketer Merv Hughes, after Bottas posted a video of himself running semi-naked down a Californian beach during his winter break.

Bottas, who hasn't been shy to show off his body parts in recent times, is currently sporting a mullet and moustache combination.

That led to the inevitable comparison from Chandhok, who was recently embroiled in more Aussie cricket-based banter with Oscar Piastri after the Cricket World Cup final, in which Australia beat India.

Bottas' slow-mo exploits originally led to comparisons with former world champion Keke Rosberg, but Chandhok's evaluation may well be more fitting.

Merv Hughes is a former bowler who represented Australia in 53 Test matches between 1985 and 1994, taking 212 wickets.
