Valtteri Viktor Bottas (born 28 August 1989) is a current FF1M driver from Nastola, Finland who currently drives for GRM and was described by lead FF1M commentator James Brickles as a "revelation for GRM." He made his FF1M debut during the 2013 FF1M season and scored a shock win at a wet Hungaroring. At the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix, he challenged FJR's Jenson Button for the win and won out after the Brit suffered a dramatic last-lap gearbox failure. His 2015 Belgian Grand Prix win came under similar circumstances after long-time race leader Sebastian Vettel suffered a puncture with just a few laps remaining, but his win in the following race at Monza was nothing short of brilliant.
