The lessons "peak" Bottas learned at Mercedes that will elongate his F1 career

Released from the corporate leash, Valtteri Bottas has rediscovered the fun factor in his racing. But that, as OLEG KARPOV suggests, doesn’t mean he’s afraid of breaking a sweat these days…

According to the World Happiness Report, compiled under the auspices of the United Nations, Finland is the happiest country in the world. The land of reindeer and lakes has topped the rankings since 2018. And although Valtteri Bottas hasn’t lived in his homeland for quite some time, he’s perfectly suited to the role of its ambassador. Because he is one happy Finn.

A trip to the North is one of his wintertime traditions. A couple of years ago Bottas finished building a small house not far off the Arctic Circle, in one of those places where the sun remains below the horizon throughout December.
