Monaco GP: Valtteri Bottas' brilliant tweet goes viral after rain delay

Valtteri Bottas saw the funny side of Sunday’s rain delay in Monaco, taking to Twitter to post a hilarious photo.

Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix was red-flagged due to heavy rain, with drivers and fans left waiting with baited breath.

Bottas broke the tension in typically humorous fashion, treating his followers to an image of himself lying face-down, on the sodden track… naked.

The Fin has made a name for himself as a social media sensation, starting from his days with Mercedes.

Crowned the “King of TikTok” by fans, Bottas has always been at the forefront of the latest trends, embracing a change in times.

His quietly confident disposition has proved a hit with the racing faithful, who have long regarded Bottas as one of the sport’s nice guys.

The Alfa Romeo driver enjoyed an indifferent Qualifying session on Saturday, but did not let the result stop him from taking the perfect dig at the disappointing weather conditions.

Going into the Monaco Grand Prix, Bottas sits at eighth in the Drivers’ Championship, with his team fifth in the Constructors.

At the time of writing, the race has just got underway.
