Bottas has 10 race wins, 19 poles and 67 podiums. That's pretty remarkable career.

@Yourmawsyourda 29 дней назад

20 poles brother. 😊

@marshallmarthes 16 дней назад

One of the most underrated drivers in my opinion

Valtteri is a lovely man from a lovely country. Great interview Mark.

@Dimich1993 20 дней назад

Valtteri is so much more relaxed, than when he was at Mercedes, what a legend!

@kernowkennedy Месяц назад

When Valtteri talks, you listen. Absolutely refreshing to hear his perspective. Thanks so much for this Marc

@PitlaneLifeLessons Месяц назад

My pleasure!

@glenniz1 29 дней назад

I have so much respect for this man, the way he has handled his career and life, are something we should all try to emulate! Prayers and well wishes to Valtteri, and much appreciation to you Marc for bringing us this video! 👍🏁

@PitlaneLifeLessons 29 дней назад

Well said

@kingdongo4388 28 дней назад

@TommoOnYoutube Месяц назад

2018 was a tough one for him. No wins, 5th in the DC, 4 points off 3rd, Lewis winning it all.

@thelouisjohnson Месяц назад

Thanks for sending me here Tommo 👌🏼 proper job on the production too.

@SavikujaTero Месяц назад

No, he won the Russian gp but was asked to give the win to Lewis. Also, Valtteri gave the Monza win to Lewis. Valtteri was 3rd in the championship but thanks for the team orders he had to give points to Lewis.

@Warrioruk Месяц назад

He should've won Russia and Azerbaijan in 2018. He lost out on them due to things outside of his control.

@Warrioruk Месяц назад

@@SavikujaTero In Hockenheim he was also prohibited from passing Lewis.

@SavikujaTero Месяц назад

@Warrioruk That I don't remember, but thanks for reminding me. I find it weird when people tell how he didn't win a single race and was only fifth in the championship. Do those people watch even one minute formula 1?

@davidsheridan2267 Месяц назад

Brilliant interview i hope we see Valtteri still in F1 next year

@PitlaneLifeLessons Месяц назад

Me too!

@MogsterKupo Месяц назад

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said there'll be stuff we've never heard from him before. Great interview, man.

@PitlaneLifeLessons Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed!

@splitenz1770 26 дней назад

Great interview Mark. I've always been a great fan of Bottas. He's very quick and has a great brain but aways comes across as a lovely guy.

@freddiefreihofer7716 25 дней назад

Great interview! Valtteri is a prince! Perhaps some of some of you saw the official video of him walking through the Mercedes museum at the end of his last year at Mercedes. Valtteri was being non-renewed in favor of George Russell. He went round to the various cars he had won his 10 victories in. I was so emotionally moved I was near tears. A must see. Type in Memory Lane With Valtteri Bottas.

@stevecarter5084 26 дней назад

Thanks Marc,great conversation. Valterri just showed how much his focus and personality will,hopefully keep him as great team leader as well as an example to up and coming racers. We should also realise what a great teammate he was to Sir Lewis!

@urbanbeachbum2148 25 дней назад

Valtteri has so much class; he was the ultimate team player at Mercedes. I’d love to see him in a winning car, but it’s great to watch him drive for a team where he can be a team player without having to sacrifice. He speaks about Toto with nothing but respect, but I doubt I’m the only fan who yelled some unkind words at the TV for team decisions. He’s great on and off the track.

@magicofshootingstar 10 дней назад

@urbanbeachbum2148 Toto was in Valtteria management group before he got to the Mercedes and he is there again. They are mates and Toto has done a lot of good for his career outside the years he drived for him. So it would be weird if he talked about him with something but respect. If he was helping Valtteri in Mercedes years can be up to debate though 😉

@sspacegghost 28 дней назад

Bottas is a good qualier at times in a pointy car. I'm surprised he's lasted this long after his back issues, and is there any more heart breaking footage in F1 ever when he won at merc, and he returned to the greenroom and not one of the engineers was there...all so used to lewis...they didn't support him in his win.

@AWAShowme Месяц назад

Bottas can easily be a team principal. This is an awesome interviewer. Subscribed

Nice to hear from Valtteri, always seemed like one of the nicest guys on the grid! Shame his talent is wasted at Sauber at the moment, but hopefully he gets a chance to fulfill some of his other racing goals even if not on the grid next year.

@ericrickert3045 25 дней назад

My two fave drivers are Valtteri and Lando. Thanks for this video!! Valtteri is so talented and such a sure hand that Audi would be smart to sign him while they can.

@PitlaneLifeLessons 25 дней назад

@MrFormulaOne2011 Месяц назад

I think you can see the similarities of Lewis at McLaren v. Lewis at Mercedes & Valtteri at Mercedes v. Valtteri at Sauber in that they grew into the person they really are and started to show their real personalities. Valtteri seems like a super chill dude and I'm glad he's now the resident Aussie we all know and love :)

@PitlaneLifeLessons Месяц назад

👍

@firbolg Месяц назад

I hope he stays at Sauber/Audi. It's no longer a Swiss team but as a Swiss, I adore Botas and hope he'll help Audi and hopefully find himself in a winning car once again. But if goes to Williams, I hope he'll do the same.

@Rapide568 Месяц назад

Marc, hi first of all great interview. Second of all thank you. Ive been playing the F1 games since 2010 and whilst it initally hurt not having the community's Jeff over time I really like your delivery its a calming voice dubbed over Codemaster's repetive line dialogue. So thank you, i've just subscribbed & keep up the good work. My only wish, when you head to Birmingham for F1 25 recording sessions please tell the script writters to come up with some new dialogue i've heard it since 2015 haha

@WEBBERSPADE Месяц назад

Very happy to see you in this format Marc. As a long term fan of you (Read your book years ago), I think you'll be able to ask unique questions to guests. Good luck with the future of this channel

@rotorairgroup8409 Месяц назад

Bottas has better record in Williams and Mercedes that Perez, Leclerc, Russell, Norris & Sainz. He most get a seat in 2025, hope that he can remain in Sauber Audi.

The least prepared interviewer on earth. Gladly Valteri is so charismatic

@willyhwang1059 10 дней назад

Valteri is a great driver, never under rated for me. Very chill guy

@rocket3man 19 дней назад

Trouble is the money is too good for a couple of hours work every week or two!

@willyhwang1059 10 дней назад

here's a question: how close do you think Valteri can compare to Max? in last year's Red Bull. can he potentially beat Max?

@PitlaneLifeLessons 5 дней назад

No one can answer that until he tries, what is a very specialised car.

@woreoutdrummer1861 25 дней назад

I've liked this guy from day one. He sort of reminds me of a more talkative version of Raikkonen! Just that cool, laid back style. Kind of a shame he's running in the back. Seems like such a waste of talent.

To be honest Mercedes should of picked Wehrlein

@Warrioruk Месяц назад

Gosh Wehrlein was so good. He was the youngest DTM champion in 2015 aged 20 and scored points with the Manor and Sauber (the slowest cars respectively). He didn't get the Force India seat, cuz he apparently made "bad comments" about the car. Then he wanted to leave the Merc academy leading to Toto dropping him.

@F1Guy-Guy Месяц назад

@@Warrioruk He didn't get the force India seat due to being the poorest driver without any means of outside sponsorship other than a useless contact with Mercedes. He was actually a really hard worker who started as early in the garage as possible and left turning the lights off to also spend as much valuable time with the members of his teams like his engineers and mechanics and he was the nicest person you could ever imagine
