Kada Sárközi joined GPblog as an editor ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season. He graduated with a BA in Sports Journalism in the UK and has covered Grands Prix and other F1 events live.

While some drivers may take the weekend off after a doubleheader in Imola and Monaco, ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Valtteri Bottas will travel to compete in cycling in the United States this weekend.

Bottas is known for taking part in cycling competitions in the past, and this weekend will be no different, he shared on social media. On X (formerly known as Twitter), the Stake F1 driver uploaded a preview video.

The Finn will take part in the UNBOUND Gravel competition in the state of Kansas from the Saturday until Tuesday, together with his girlfried, Tiffany Cromwell, ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
