‘I take bike racing seriously’ — Formula One's Valtteri Bottas has sights set on Gravel Worlds in 2024

A man in a blue cycling kit, helmet, and glasses rides a road bike on black asphalt toward the camera.

Valtteri Bottas is no stranger to going fast — the 34-year-old Finnish Formula One (F1) Driver for Alfa-Romeo has 67 F1 podiums to his name with 10 of those being on the top step. 

He is also an accomplished gravel cyclist who has tackled the Belgian Waffle Race and finished on the podium of his age group twice at SBT GRVL, a world-class gravel race in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He's fallen so hard for the two-wheeled sport that he created his own gravel bike race and  Instagram page these days, features more bike content than F1 content.
