Valtteri Bottas says it is becoming harder for young drivers to show their real personalities in F1 due to the sport's serious environment.
Valtteri Bottas thinks it has become harder for drivers to show their real personalities in Formula 1's business-first environment, but says he has now come to a point where he doesn't take himself too seriously.Bottas, who joined F1 in 2013 with Williams, too struggled to get his personality across during his early years, but after leaving the pressure cooker of Mercedes he has now opened up at Alfa Romeo.
"As a rookie I would have not come to the paddock with a tank top and flipflops, not even a few years back," he admitted. "It is tricky getting to Formula 1," the 33-year-old explained."Sometimes it's difficult to see the real personalities on track. "Over the last 10 years there were some personalities like Daniel Ricciardo who really came up showing his personality. I think it's good to see but it is how it is because it's serious business and there's big companies and big money involved."photoshoot wouldn't have been possible earlier in his career either.
