Bottas' good joke amused the fans

      The other day Valtteri Bottas, now a reserve pilot of Mercedes, together with the team took part in a solemn presentation dedicated to the beginning of cooperation with Adidas. The program also included various interesting activities, including racers of the team on special machines themselves printed on branded T-shirts pictures and inscriptions.

      When it was Valtteri's turn and he took up the task, the Adidas employee said that the process of putting a print on a T-shirt lasts about 30 seconds. And then he with a very sly expression on his face and the appropriate intonations said a phrase that caused a funny reaction from others and which was appreciated by fans who put tens of thousands of smiley faces in social networks. Bottas said: "It's still faster than some of my pit stops. "Anyone who followed Sauber's performances last year knows that Valtteri and his teammate, Guangyu Zhou, were often hampered by chronic problems at pit stops, which inevitably led to a loss of positions. In the Swiss team tried to take some measures, but with the cause of the problems for a long time could not be sorted out, and hiccups continued. But also many remember that a much more complicated case occurred at the Grand Prix of Monaco in 2021, when the Finn was still playing for Mercedes: then at the pit stop wedged wheel nut, and Valtteri went off the track. The wheel was removed from the car only after 43 hours at the base of the team in Brackley.
