Bottas swaps plane for bike on 350km trip to Singapore Grand Prix
Finnish Formula One driver Valtteri Bottas has opted to cycle to the next race in Singapore rather than fly, taking on a journey of around 350 kilometres from Malaysia. "Yea I'm riding to Singapore," the 37-year-old Cadillac driver wrote on social media, alongside a video showing the start of his trip on a gravel bike.
Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas, 37, cycled over 320 kilometers from Sepang to Singapore ahead of the upcoming F1 Singapore Grand Prix, reports state. Bottas made the journey a day after failing to finish the Bahrain Grand Prix, which took place in Malaysia on Sunday. This marks his eighth DNF (Did Not Finish) of the season. Max Verstappen recently secured victory in Sepang, making it the first race win for the Bahrain-branded event since 2017 due to the Iran war relocation.
Bottas, who has been driving in F1 since 2013, has secured 10 victories and 67 podium finishes throughout his career.
