Valtteri Bottas Reveals Hilarious Helmet For 2023 Bahrain Pre-Season Testing
Alfa Romeo F1 driver Valtteri Bottas has revealed his helmet for the pre-season testing in Bahrain ahead of the season opener on 3-5 March.
Taking to social media, the Finnish driver wrote:
"Bahrain test helmet @StiloOfficial helmet designed by @tiffanycromwell"
Bottas is heading into his second season with the Swiss-based team and has been sporting a strong new look recently. The testing helmet features the same look of a moustache and mullet and fans are calling for the driver to use the helmet for longer than just the testing days.
"Let’s not go over the top but this is the greatest helmet design ever!"
"Finally something original. Keep it this way."
"Please keep that helmet for use when not having one time livery helmets"
"I’m sad this isn’t the helmet for the season"
"This haircuts is most aerodynamic I have ever seen and about the moustache : if the FIA approved it ,me too." [sic]
"Never change Valtteri, this helmet needs to be all season!"
"I have a feeling that Valtteri is going to be the next Sebastian."
Bottas and teammate Zhou Guanyu have began pre-season testing this morning which will run Friday and Saturday as well. Once that has concluded, the countdown will be well and truly on for the first race of the 2023 season, also in Bahrain on 3-5 March.
