After over a year, Valtteri Bottas has yet again managed to storm social media with yet another amusing picture of himself. You’ve probably guessed it already, but, let us spell it out for you, regardless. It’s a picture of a naked Bottas escaping the summer heat by chilling in a lake in Finland. The scenery in the image looks scintillating, but, of course, the Alfa Romeo driver managed to steal the limelight.
The post popped up on Friday morning on Instagram and barely minutes later, the comments section blew up, with hilarious reactions swarming in from several fans and even his former team, Mercedes AMG. The Brackley outfit put out a cheeky comment – “Cracking shot. VB.”

It didn’t stop there, as, his current teammate, Guanyu Zhou replied with a laughable emoji. The young Chinese chose the SMH (Smack my head) emoji to express his feelings, but, the fans consequently created a thread underneath and kick-started a banter trolling Zhou’s lack of support towards his teammate. There was also a cheeky like on Instagram by Pierre Gasly.
F1 Fans react to Valtteri Bottas’ nude picture
There may not be any on-track action this weekend, but, Bottas has certainly livened up the Formula 1 community with a mere social media post. Fans have since gone berserk, and a lot of their comments have been nothing short of priceless. A set of fans even lashed out at Bottas for posting such revealing pictures in public. A fan comment read, “Have some shame.”

As mentioned earlier, this isn’t the first instance of Bottas revealing his butt on social media. Back in May 2022, Bottas revealed a picture of himself lying on his chest in a river in Colorado. And yet again, despite the scenic view around, it was Bottas who attracted the entire attention.
Bottas’ first nude pic and how Lewis Hamilton reacted to it
Seeing the insane reactions to the picture, Bottas decided to use it for charity. Hence, the Finn driver made a handful of prints and sold them, ultimately raising approximately $54,500. Interestingly though, Bottas saved the last print as a gift for his Mercedes F1 teammate, Lewis Hamilton.
He wrote on social media, “Saved the last picture for my buddy Lewis Hamilton“. The 7-time world champion then posted another picture as a response, thanking Bottas for it. The caption read, “Thank you, Valtteri Bottas. An amazing gift.”

This is turning out to be a yearly reveal from Bottas, and if this is going to be the trend, we have a long wait ahead before we could witness another similar post from one of the most fan-favorite F1 drivers on the grid.
