If there’s one driver on the grid who you’d pick for posting reels with nothing but a speedo on, and post on social media about “balls of steel” – you know it has to be Valtteri Bottas. The ten-time race winner is no stranger to nudity, especially when it’s for a noble cause.

While spending his Christmas in Southern Australia, the Finnish driver decided to do some shopping near the Rundle Mall. Posing in front of this Adelaide Mall, the Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber driver has managed to once again catch attention, mere days after his viral Baywatch style reel.

Valtteri Bottas on the front page again

Although he had a fairly anonymous season on track with Alfa Romeo, he’s every sponsor’s dream off-track. Not only is he regularly posting on Social Media, but he’s also going viral once every few weeks.

The last time he went viral for a reel where he ran in his underwear on a California beach, saying his farewell to the United States. Since then, he has reached Australia, and on his way to do some last-minute Christmas shopping in Adelaide, he posed in front of Adelaide’s favorite artwork. Two metal balls stacked on top of each other, that’s at least twice the height of the Finnish racing driver.

Tagging South Australia and giving credit to his girlfriend Tiffany Cromwell, Valtteri posted that picture with the caption “balls of steel.” Locally known as the Malls’ Balls, this artwork titled “The Spheres” has been an important part of Adelaide’s culture since it was donated to the city back in 1977. In fact, the mall’s official logo pays homage to the “balls of steel.”

For all the innuendos, Valtteri Bottas is using his image and his non-hesitance to show skin for a very good cause. The viral ‘BOTTASS’ calendar is also a part of his charitable ventures.

Bottas bares it all for a noble cause

For Valtteri Bottas, men’s mental health awareness is extremely important. As a result, he has partnered with a charity that another A-lister celebrity, Ryan Reynolds, also backs. Movember charity focuses on a multitude of different things – mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer, among other things.

Thanks to the viral clip from Drive to Survive, where Bottas is bearing it all while going for a swim, the Finnish driver has now leveraged that to further show skin for a good cause. They’ve crossed over $100,000 in donations from the sale of his calendar, where he appears completely nude.
