Toto Wolff has approved 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas keeping his “ugly mullet,” but therꦫe will be no repeat of Finn’s nude♔ calendar. 

Bottas has returned to Mercedes as their reserve driver for the 2025 F1 seaso🎃n, having been unabl🌳e to keep his Sauber drive.

Bottas spent five years at Mercedes between 2017 and 2021, and the team, alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, rem𓆉ained unbeaten in the constructor♏s’ championship.

After a promising start at S🌄auber♉, where he led them to sixth in the constructors’ championship, his final two years at Hinwil were far from fruitful.

Bottas was able to shine off-track, with his true personality coming through on♊ social media, with a humorous ad campaign with Uber.

The 10-time grand prix winner also transformed his appearance, opting for a str𒁏iking mullet haircut.

Speaking to last year, Bottas admitted that leaving Mercedes allowed him to adopt a more relaxed approach away fro🅘m the track.

“So we𓃲’ve said that, but we need to keep him authentic. And if ꦐhe wants to keep the ugly mullet, then he should.”

Wolff’s hope for Bottas in 2025

Bottas will back up Mercedes’ driver pairing of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

At just 18, Antonelli is the youngest driver on the 2025 F1 grid, with limited single-seater experience undeꦛr his belt.

The Italian spent just one🎉 season in F2, having skipped F3 entirely.

However, Mercedes opted to sign him over proven drivers like 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz.

Wolff confirmed♈ that part of Botta🤪s’ job will be to mentor Antonelli during his rookie campaign.

“Part of the role of Valtteri will be to have a look o🌳n Kimi,”🔯 Wolff added.

“Be there to coach, be there to have an eye on what’s happening on the tra🍸ck. And Kimi is going to learn from Valtteri and from George.”
