Hamilton would buy Bottas’ butt photo for charity

Lewis Hamilton has joked he would buy a print of his former team-mate Valtteri Bottas’ butt for charity.

If you had to pick which driver on the grid would have the most famous behind, your first choice probably would not have been the reserved Bottas.

But nevertheless, the Finn became an unlikely star of the 2021 edition of Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ when he was filmed relaxing at home in his spa.

The tranquil scene of beautiful Finnish landscapes and a wooden hut housing a spa took a surprising turn when Bottas stood up and flashed his right butt cheek to the camera.

Points back on the cards for Haas?

Of all the viral moments of a ‘Drive to Survive’ season, none more than Bottas’ fateful trip to the spa caught the attention of the audience.

Even his fellow drivers got in on the joke, with Daniel Ricciardo tweeting he was not sure how he felt about seeing “ALL of Bottas in DTS.”

Imagine I’m not the first to comment on it but still not sure how I feel about seeing ALL of Bottas in DTS

Since his move from the high-pressured environment of Mercedes to Alfa Romeo, Bottas has been showing his lighter side and clearly does not take himself too seriously.

In the days following the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, in which the Finn finished P7, he took to Instagram to show what he was getting up to during his downtime.

He posted a picture of himself skinny-dipping in a stream in Colorado
