Valtteri Bottas is enjoying his 3-month long break from racing. And the Finn has chosen the warm beaches of Australia as he plans on celebrating a warm and cozy New Year with his girlfriend Tiffany Cromwell.
F1 drivers chose a variety of ways to cool off during the winter break after a grueling season behind the wheel. Some chose to go on an extended holiday, some enjoy video games and dates.
But good old Bottas has chosen to go full Aussie. The 10 Grand Prix-winning driver unveiled his 2022 off-season look sporting a whacky mullet. And we think he has clearly won the off season!

Bottas sports a new look for the offseason
Valtteri Bottas just moved into Australia with his cyclist girlfriend Tiffany Cromwell. Bottas and Cromwell have been in a relationship together since 2020.
The Finn posted a new video in which he claimed he “didn’t fit in” with the land down under. The 33-year-old stated that he wanted to change his style for a bit and took a trip to the hairstylist.

Bottas stepped and undergoes a complete look change for his vacation. The Alfa Romeo driver chose a mullet with a whacky color combination and a beer in his hands.
Bottas might have entered the stylist’s salon like the racer we know. But the Finn exited like a full-on Aussie with a Victoria Bitter lager on his hand and his girlfriend in awe with his drastic makeover.
Bottas even takes a trip to the beach wearing a VB tank top, a beer and some ‘thongs’, or flip flops for the folks from outside Australia. The hilarious video ends with Bottas sitting beside his partner claiming “Now I feel like Home!”

We just hope Bottas manages to hold on to his new look until the 2023 season kicks in. Another 4 months more to go until the light go out for the 2023 season at Bahrain.
