About Valtteri
Following Kimi Raikkonen’s retirement from F1, Valtteri Bottas became the sole Finnish driver on the 2022 grid. Prior to F1, Valtteri raced in the Formula 3 Euroseries in 2009; he finished 3rd
Partnering Lewis Hamilton, he won 10 races with the team over the 5 years he drove for them and finished 2nd twice (in 2019 and 2020).
Valtteri is a quiet achiever, loves a sauna and a coffee, goes out with Australian Olympic cyclist Tiffany Cromwell and has a smashing AMG GT Black series sports car which he rolled up in at the 2021 Italian GP.
In 2022 he stepped into Alfa Romeo alongside the only 2022 rookie Zhou Guanyu.
Bottas was signed as a reserve driver for Mercedes in 2025.
As of 2026, Valtteri will drive for Cadillac alongside Sergio Perez.
