The 2024 season will see a few changes in the F1 paddock. However, Sauber’s new identity isn’t the only noteworthy change at the team as Valtteri Bottas adorns a new and stylish look ahead of the 2024 season. Bottas has decided to stick with a similar hairstyle that he had used back in 2022 but changed the natural color of his hair.

Valtteri Bottas had previously stuck to the Mullet hairstyle at the end of 2022 and decided to keep the off-season trend alive by getting the same haircut this time as well. The Finnish driver took to Instagram and shared his all-new look resembling the ones of those down under. In addition to the Mullet, Bottas also colored his hair to a very unique color from other drivers present on the grid.

The 34-year-old bleached his hair to a blonde color amidst the other hairstyle changes. Hairstylist Robby Lippett decided to also style the Finn’s hair after bleaching it and adding the finishing touches to the hair. The hair powder helped Bottas achieve the complete style of the Mullet hairstyle and showcased his Aussie love through this gesture.

The hairstylist crew at Attaboy Studios did an amazing job in increasing the beauty of the Finnish ahead of the following season and bringing the natural down-under look to the Iceman. A Mullet hairstyle suits his personality on the grid and makes him stand out even more from the other drivers present.

Additionally, the leadership at Audi has expressed their interest in acquiring experienced drivers in the sport. Although the carmaker has been in touch with other drivers including Nico Hulkenberg.

I think there's actually many drivers without contracts, so it's going to be quite interesting to follow how things fall into place. For me, the goal is clear. I definitely want to be part of the Audi project.
Valtteri Bottas said, as reported by formu1a.uno.

Hence, for now, Bottas will stick to racing for the Stake F1 team and keep proving his racing competency to further enable his chances at Audi.
