F1 star pulled over by police in shock video footage
A shocking video of Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas being pulled over by police has surfaced online, capturing attention just days after the conclusion of the 2024 F1 season in Abu Dhabi.
The season finale was a historic one, with McLaren clinching their first constructors’ championship since 1998.
The Yas Marina Circuit witnessed emotional goodbyes, including Lewis Hamilton’s farewell to Mercedes.
After securing six of his seven world titles with the team, Hamilton is set to join Ferrari next season.
Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz, whom Hamilton will replace at Ferrari, finished his stint with the team on a high note by securing second place in the race, ahead of Charles Leclerc.
Sainz’s move to Williams offers hope for his new team.
Uncertainty surrounds Sergio Perez’s future at Red Bull following a challenging season marked by five DNFs since May, including one in the final race.
Other drivers potentially making their last F1 appearances included Haas’ Kevin Magnussen and Bottas, who currently lack seats for 2025.
At 35, Bottas faces slim prospects of returning to F1 but has no plans to retire from racing.
He recently confirmed his participation in the 2025 Race of Champions in Sydney, signaling his determination to remain active in motorsport.
However, Bottas’ off-season began on a surprising note.
While enjoying a drive with his partner, professional cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, he was apparently pulled over by police.
In a video posted to his Instagram, Bottas is seen in the driver’s seat, pointing toward his wing mirror, where a police officer stands beside a patrol car.
The unexpected encounter has sparked curiosity among fans as Bottas transitions into the next phase of his career.
For now, his focus remains on enjoying his off-season while preparing for future racing challenges.
