Bottas reveals just how much coffee could be too much

Bottas has become known for his love of coffee in recent years

Valtteri Bottas has become known for his love of a good espresso before taking to the track but last week the Finn took this to an extreme.

Many people around the world start the day with a cup of coffee to pick them up ahead of a busy day, but for Bottas on Sunday, coffee became his day when acting as a judge in the Finnish Aeropress coffee making championships.

Far from simply enjoying just one espresso, Bottas revealed ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix: “In two hours I tried at least 27 different coffees and I didn’t spit it out, so it was nice.

"I felt lots of energy afterwards.”

Responding simply "no," when asked if he had slept well after such a large dose of caffeine, Bottas laid out his judging credentials.

“The Finnish AeroPress coffee-making championships were in my hometown where I am from last weekend and I got an invitation to be one of the judges," added Bottas. "I was one of the three judges and it was a pretty nice experience.

“Obviously, I have been tasting coffee quite a bit since I am part of one roastery in Finland so I know a little bit about coffee."

With tricky conditions expected in Istanbul, we can only imagine which blend Bottas has selected for the coming weekend.
