A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Valtteri Bottas has seen many changes in his life recently, particularly with his Sauber exit and his arrival back at Mercedes, not as a main driver, but with a more supporting role instead, as a third driver. Now the Finn is ready for a new chapter in his life and has decided to pop the question to girlfriend Tiffany Cromwell.
Since Mercedes decided to put their faith in George Russell for the 2022 season, Bottas was forced to look elsewhere in order to secure himself a spot in the F1 grid, eventually finding one in the then Frederic Vasseur lead Alfa Romeo. However, not only did the Finn switch teams, but also his mentality and personality underwent a transformation into a much more relaxed and outgoing character, revealing a comedic side that few could have guessed he had.
Bottas 'pops the question'
Following a flurry of hilarious videos that have seen Bottas take the social media world by storm, the Finn has added yet another one to the list. It is no secret that, since his girlfriend, Tiffany Cromwell, is a professional cyclist, and Bottas, a cycling enthusiast himself, the pair often choose to compete in cycling competitions together.
In a recent video uploaded to Bottas' Instagram channel, the Finn addressed his fans: "So the internet has been asking questions, there's been lots of speculation. So, I think it's time to pop the question," said a cryptic Bottas, to an expectant Cromwell.

"Can we go to Fnld Grvl on August 9th?," added the Finn to his rather dejected girlfriend who replied by shrugging her shoulders and saying: "I guess so," with Bottas then triumphantly putting his arms up in celebration and closing with a euphoric "She said yes!"
