F1 News: Valtteri Bottas Takes Unusual Approach To Raise Money For Prostate Cancer

Valtteri Bottas has taken the nudity route for a good cause.

In a rather surprising but kind gesture, Alfa Romeo F1 driver Valtteri Bottas has launched a nude calendar to raise money for Movember- a movement that highlights prostate and testicular cancer.

The 34-year-old driver has been brave enough to go fully naked in recent years to attract funds that help various causes. His attention-grabbing appearances demonstrated this, as he playfully underwent an amusing 'Australian' transformation earlier this year, which included a stylish mullet.

Previously, Bottas made news after being clicked nude in a river, a huge printed version of which was also presented to Lewis Hamilton. Now though, he has bumped the number up to a daring 13 nude images, enough to fill an entire calendar.

Every month will showcase a distinct photograph of Bottas in the nude set against striking backgrounds, captured by his friend Paul Ripke. Available for $20, $5 from each sale goes toward Prostate Cancer Research.

Bottas has consistently displayed his backing for Movember, a campaign addressing prostate and testicular cancer, by sporting a moustache sticker on his helmet. Engaging in charitable endeavors, he once released a limited edition print of a photo that surprisingly went viral on social media.

After the 2022 Miami Grand Prix, Bottas extended his stay in the United States, embarking on travels that included a refreshing stream dip in Aspen, Colorado. There, a picture of him swimming with his rear peeping out of the water went viral, which helped him raise over £40,000 for charity.

"I still haven't signed any, maybe in the autograph session tomorrow, maybe I'll see some.

"I was seeing some photos of people taking pictures, some have it in their living room or kitchen or bedroom.

"What is incredible that that's the power of social media. We got €50,000 for charity in 24 hours with a picture of somebody's bum like this. It's crazy."
