Netflix’s Drive to Survive series has just dropped its season three, and safe to say, fans are obsessed. There are quite a few funny moments have developed a fan following of their own, especially one involving Mercedes driver Valterri Bottas. And fellow driver Daniel Ricciardo is a big fan of that particular moment.
In the third episode, building up to the Russian Grand Prix, Bottas visits a sauna, and the DTS crew follows him. This trip to the sauna led to some rather awkward footage that the Finnish driver would’ve rather kept secret.
But, unfortunately, it made its way into the show, and Ricciardo chose to tease Bottas about it on Twitter.

Imagine I’m not the first to comment on it 😆 but still not sure how I feel about seeing ALL of Bottas in DTS 🙈

I guess it’s the birth of Bottass. Dammit we’re immature 😄 All I’d recommend is a tan. Was sunglasses sorta stuff. Otherwise, fair play lad.

The nickname was so good that Bottas’ own team couldn’t help but join in on the fun.
Don’t say it. Don’t say it…

The Australian to partner up with youngster Lando Norris
The 31-year-old is also excited to learn from his young teammate, Lando Norris. While Daniel has spent more time in F1, Norris has been with McLaren far longer than the Australian.
Ricciardo said, “It’s funny. I’m certainly the more experienced in terms of F1. This being my 11th season, but in terms of McLaren, Lando is the more experienced.
