Rap song named after Valtteri Bottas proves to be a hit on YouTube

Valtteri Bottas has become something of an online hero within the Formula 1 community since the Netflix series Drive to Survive. The Finn bare his buttocks in the series and gave former teammate Lewis Hamilton a framed copy of the picture. Bottas now also appears to be a mega-hit on YouTube.

In his years at Mercedes, Bottas failed to beat Hamilton. The Finn was the clear second driver within the team and had to make room for George Russell after the 2021 season.

Bottas has now finished his first season with Alfa Romeo. In the first half of the season, the Alfa Romeo did not even turn out to be such a bad car, but the team lagged behind in terms of development and reliability problems also became more frequent. In the end, the Finnish driver still managed to finish 10th in the drivers' championship and the team beat Aston Martin for P6 in the constructors' standings.

Bottas appears to be popular outside F1 too. Spanish rapper Arcangel released a rap song named after the Alfa Romeo driver on Friday. The video has amassed over one and a half million views after just one day and features lyrics about the F1 driver. You can listen to the song here.
