In this extra special episode of the show, we are very excited to sit down with Formula One driver, Valtteri Bottas! As an enthusiastic cyclist, and budding gravel racer, Valtteri has a really interesting perspective on the sport and why it appeals to him in parallel and in contrast with his main occupation. Valtteri's partner is Tiffany Cromwell from the Canyon-SRAM team, and Valtteri talks about how much this relationship has influenced his passion for cycling. We talk about how he sees his cycling benefitting his driving, and also the main differences between the two sports. Along the way, our guest shares some very interesting insights into what goes into a Formula One race, and some of the biggest misconceptions about the sport too. With the massive cultural impact of the Drive to Survive series, Formula One has seen a steep increase in the number of fans of the sport and Valtteri talks a little about what it has been like to be filmed for the show. Towards the end of our chat, our guest also opens up about his hopes for his retirement and some of the other passions and ventures he has, including a gin distillery and a coffee roastery! Join us to hear it all!
