Valtteri Bottas 2019 Race suit

Since 2017 the Finnish race driver Valtteri Bottas has been team-mate to six-times World Champion Lewis Hamilton, racing for Mercedes-AMG Petronas in Formula 1.

Born in 1989, Valtteri Bottas, began racing karts before graduating to Formula Renault cars and winning two Championship titles with them in 2008. Two years later he earned a Formula 1 testing drive contract with the multiple F1 Constructors' Championship-winning Williams team, and he raced for them as a full team driver through 2013-2016. He scored six podium finishes - placing within the first three positions overall - during his Williams career and was then selected to replace 2016 World Champion Nico Rosberg at the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team from 2017.

He scored his first Formula 1 race win in the 2017 Russian Grand Prix and followed up with two more victories that year, in Austria and Abu Dhabi - to place third in that season's final World Championship result.

Through 2018 Valtteri Bottas secured no fewer than seven second place finishes, and in 2019 he added race wins in the Australian, Azerbaijan, Japanese and United States GPs, plus another seven second places...to take second place the Drivers' World Championship to team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
