Valtteri Bottas Collects Unique Silverware for His Top-Notch Contributions to Mercedes F1

Valtteri Bottas is known for many things. A skilled racer, porridge pundit, and coffee connoisseur. Now, Bottas has yet another forte to add to the list: a talented TikToker. For a skill so profound, Mercedes even gave their driver a little trophy.

Mercedes had shared a video of Bottas raising his tiny trophy for the ‘TikToker of the Year’; a feeling Bottas reacted to with: “Life. Complete.” In addition to the prestigious award given to the driver, Bottas also rendered a speech for the special moment.

The emotional speech was nearly tear-jerking. “I’m a little bit speechless. I don’t know what to say. Such a huge moment for me in my life… I think it’s the biggest achievement in my life!” As Bottas makes room in his trophy cabinet, the moment would be incomplete without a professional photoshoot.

Surely some of the most iconic moments on team social media, Bottas took Mercedes PR to another level. Although a light-hearted moment, fans quickly realized that this content is limited. With Bottas moving to Alfa Romeo next season, we hope to see more of our influencer regardless of teams.

Ranking Valtteri Bottas’ Tik Tok moments

Often joked about as being Mercedes’ social media admin, Bottas has given the world some hilarious content. From referencing memes to taking a diss at his own team, the man has done it all. However, there have been some chef’s kiss moments with Bottas’ TikTok moments that have truly made him the TikToker of the year.

A tough decision, but arguably one of the funniest Mercedes TikToks, the one where Bottas marks his clueless engineer as ‘Simba’ takes the cake. Ending the video with a cheeky smile, this was Bottas’ TikTok career in its prime.

A close winner, Bottas making funny faces ahead of the Mexican GP won the hearts of many. Clearly enjoying the challenge of matching the emojis, Bottas’ chuckles between the video boost it to second place.

Rounding off the TikTok podium is Bottas running to Alfa Romeo! Mercedes made the video a few races after the big announcement; in a this-or-that challenge, Bottas was made to choose between Mercedes and Alfa Romeo. The Finn cheekily ran off to his new team!

Missing out on the top 3 by a close margin is a video showing off a crucial part of being a TikToker: transitions. Surely, F1’s very own TikTok star absolutely nailed it.

With many marvelous TikToks missing from the list, it would be incomplete without adding just one more of Bottas’ great TikToks.

Although the “traditions” videos live close to our hearts, Bottas’ iconic moments on Tiktok have earned him a well-deserving trophy. Hopefully, this TikTok era never ends!
