Valtteri Bottas breaks down the beforemath of the famous b*tt photo

The famous photo which has now become a charity did not start off with the thought. It was just a random photo Bottas’s cyclist girlfriend took which the Finn thought was aesthetically pleasing and worthy of an Instagram post. However, the reaction to the photo and his friend’s suggestion made it into what it is now, a charity!

In an interview, he said, “It was actually, the idea was, I don’t know quite often we just take photos like of different situations, but actually it was Tiffany, my girlfriend who took the photo. Um, yeah me and Paul, we were having a swim, my friend, Paul Ripke.

“But then at the evening, I was just scrolling through the photos and I was like that is actually quite, artistic photo in a way. Then I just decided to post it, no text, nothing, just posted because I loved it. It was quite funny and so on. But then I saw the reaction the next morning, like wow, it was like record number of views and likes and everything. So, then Paul Ripke came up with the idea that we should do like a limited, 24-hour edition of the prints and do it for charity and that’s we did. And it was pretty popular,” he revealed.
