The 10-time Grand Prix winner still has a burning desire to reach the top step of the podium again, but his approach to Formula 1 has changed a lot since joining Alfa Romeo. He’s less sensitive to criticism, he doesn’t care what others think of him and he’s enjoying everything that makes him happy outside of the sport. Valtteri tells Tom Clarkson the inspiration behind his mullet, how he’s adapted to a team not fighting at the front and why he’s got no plans to leave F1 anytime soon. Plus, the Finn explains why he thinks Lewis Hamilton is still the fastest driver on the grid.Follow, rate and review F1 Beyond The Grid and share this episode using #F1BeyondTheGrid.Related episodes:Valtteri Bottas’ first Beyond The Grid interview Zhou Guanyu, Valtteri’s Alfa Romeo teammate Listen to F1 Nation's review of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
