There has to be a cool Finn in F1 at all times. After Kimi Raikkonen retired in 2021, fans felt they may not have another cool Finnish driver again. But then they realized they got Valtteri Bottas. The former Williams driver left Mercedes and joined Alfa Romeo in 2022. Since then, he has arguably been taking a relaxed perspective on his life and career.

Valtteri Bottas had a quite laid-back personality, as most Finnish drivers have had. His 5 seasons at Mercedes were decent as the team won 5 constructors’ titles and Bottas contributed 10 wins in this run. Though he was not matching up with Lewis Hamilton consistently and eventually parted ways with the Silver Arrows.

Since he left Brackley, Bottas has got a fresh vibe as he found a new life at Alfa Romeo. The Finn was flying at the start of the 2022 season, scoring the bulk of points for his new team.
