Valtteri Bottas love Australia. His partner Tiffany Cromwell is an Australian professional cyclist, and he competes in the Australian Grand Prix every year with a specific helmet in a nod to the culture of the Antipodes. Present at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival this Sunday March 17, seven days before the GP scheduled in Melbourne, the Finn was elected honorary Australian citizen by the organizers.

The Stake Sauber driver received the accolade shortly after driving a 8s V1980 Supercars Holden VK Commodore as well as a Leyton House CG891 Judd F1.

Passionate about the history of motorsport across all disciplines, I learned to read thanks to AUTOhebdo. At least that's what my parents tell everyone when they see my name inside!

Will this make him move faster at the wheel of his Sauber next weekend? A tribute for his last 2024 tour because he already seems to be driving like Kimi during his last F1 season?
