1 Listener
Well this is hard for us to believe but this weeks episode features a chat with #Formula1 legend, Valtteri Bottas.
As you know we are not journalists as this is a pod by fans for fans so we tried to mix up the kinda things we talked with him about. We cover his early days growing up in Finland, F1 highlights, favorite meme he has been in, and also life away from #F1. To cap it all off he then becomes the latest guest to take on the 100 Seconds of DRS.
