A few days before the Australian Grand Prix, Valtteri Bottas stretched his hands behind the wheel of the 891 Leyton House CG1989 Judd, one of the first single-seaters designed by Adrian Newey. The Finn piloted the car in the turquoise blue dress at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival this weekend.

Valtteri Bottas took to the track at Leyton House alongside Australian legend Craig Lowndes, who piloted a 10 Arrows A1988B Megatron. Both drivers replicated their performance at the 2023 edition, when Lowndes shared the track with Bottas while the latter drove the Holden VF Commodore, victorious at Bathurst in 2016. The Sauber driver also drove a Holden VK Commodore Group A and the Brabham BT62.

It sounds much better to the ear than today's hybrid engines! Obviously, the current Adelaide route seems much shorter than that used by the past F1 Grand Prix
