The F1 summer break has started with drivers flying off to vacation and spending time with friends and family. Alfa Romeo driver Valtteri Bottas is spending his time off with his girlfriend, Tiffany Cromwell. The Finn decided to give his girlfriend a taste of what it felt like to step into his shoes.

Bottas took Tiffany to Alastaro Circuit, in Loimaa, and put her behind the wheel in a driving lesson F1 style with himself as the instructor. She proceeded to test out a variety of vehicles, however, the main highlight and her ultimate test was when she drove 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg‘s Williams from his initial years in F1.

Both Tiffany and Bottas enjoyed a good adventure, and this was a brilliant day out for the couple. Bottas even posted a video of the two on his Instagram, captioning it, “The need for speed.”

Bottas, after a third race without a point at the French GP, extended his stay in France ahead of last weekend’s Hungarian GP.
