Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas are no strangers to each other with both of them driving as teammates in Mercedes. Bottas served the team from 2017 to 2021 and during these years, he has had some great performances, which are not visible with Stake F1. While the two drivers were teammates, there was a fierce competitive spirit among them. But since the Australian driver left the Silver Arrow, the interaction between the two has significantly reduced.

Ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, Valtteri Bottas featured in a promo video for Uber car share. This video was uploaded to his Instagram page in collaboration with Uber. The video is a comedic take on Bottas as an Australian F1 driver, showcasing his ‘second car’. The video took the Formula One community by storm, prompting even Lewis Hamilton to comment on the post.
