Bottas took Tiffany to Alastaro Circuit, in Loimaa, and put her behind the wheel in a driving lesson F1 style with himself as the instructor. She proceeded to test out a variety of vehicles, however, the main highlight and her ultimate test was when she drove 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg‘s Williams from his initial years in F1.
