  "account": "Finnish Formula One driver Valtteri Bottas is cycling from Malaysia to the Singapore Grand Prix following his retirement from Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix. Bottas, a keen cyclist, chose to cover the 350km distance on his bike rather than fly or drive. The journey is expected to take him three days. Practice for the Singapore race begins on Friday, with media commitments scheduled for Thursday. Bottas shared a video on Instagram of himself cycling in the dark, illuminated by a torch. The 37-year-old has participated in numerous cycling races throughout his career, and his Australian partner, professional road and gravel cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, has also posted a video of their training around palm oil plantations and the Sepang coast.",
