As, in one video, Valtteri and his companions can be seen uttering the term, ‘Grouse.’ This slang is used down under’ as a way of calling something excellent. It sure describes Bottas’s trip accurately.
Of course, it is great to see Valtteri Bottas enjoying his time away from F1. Bottas had a mediocre season at Alfa Romeo in 2022 due to an uncompetitive car. However, pressure will be catching up to the Finn as Audi looks to exert its influence on the Swiss team before its entry in 2026. Bottas has stated his desire to stay with the team during Audi’s arrival. Thus, Valtteri will be looking to step up his game in the oncoming season and solidify his place in the team.
