Alfa Romeo driver Valtteri Bottas is quite active on social media and has pulled an act or two in the past that has stunned fans and fellow drivers. The Finnish driver arrived at his current team after he was replaced by a much younger George Russell at Mercedes.
After years of competing with a teammate like Lewis Hamilton who holds a staggering seven World Championship titles, Bottas has been a little laid back and has amused fans with his inner side ever since.
Recently, the Alfa Romeo driver announced a new cycling event in the city of Adelaide in Southern Australia in the month of January 2024 as a part of the Tour Down Under event.
For this event, Bottas collaborated with Tiffany Cromwell, his girlfriend who turns out to be the co-owner of the GRVL cycling series. However, the event is not here yet but Valtteri Bottas managed to catch Formula 1 fans in the loop with the promotions of the event.

Just like any of his other scandalous posts, this one definitely startled fans as they were left amused and speechless. Many even went ahead and commented about the “jumpscare” that Bottas dropped yet another time. His personality beyond Formula 1 is quite extraordinary and a promotion of that sort definitely caught a lot of attention.
How many times have Valtteri Bottas ‘flashed’ on social media?
Valtteri Bottas has grown used to giving Formula 1 fans a glimpse of his carefree side. He continued to embrace his freewheeling personality this season by exposing it all on Instagram quite often.
Just a while ago, naked images that the Finnish driver shared were of him celebrating Finland’s midsummer, which was his last exposure before this recent one. Partner Tiffany Cromwell turns out to be his ardent supporter in such escapades and is often seen sharing his nudist images on her stories.

His last midsummer post even drew the attention of the grid who also commented on the post. His former team, Mercedes quickly wrote, “Cracking shot, VB” while his current teammate Zhou Guanyu commented with a facepalm emoji. Bottas’ social media accounts have turned out to be a sight to see for fans and fellow drivers.
Witnessing a driver who is unafraid to be genuine on social media is very refreshing, especially at a time when preserving a polished public image has grown more and more constrictive. It is uncertain that anybody will object to Bottas’ lighthearted Instagram antics as long as he refrains from disclosing too much on social media and, more significantly, in the paddock.
