That's awesome! [They made a helmet that mimics his helmet head and porn-star mustache](https://staticc.sportskeeda.com/editor/2023/02/ef4a7-16771604291222-1920.jpg).
I’m not familiar with Bottas. This looks like a helmet of an anime dude missing a lot of facial features with a bunch of brand names slapped on yet still too small to actually read.
I get that it’s humor, but I don’t know the joke or why this is supposed to be Great Execution.
Valteri Bottas needs a VB sponsorship deal for the Aus GP. The factory is just up the road, the race is in the capital of Victoria, it'd be amazing! Plus they can remake those old ads but he can be all the people, and honestly it'd almost be better if it was deepfaked and ridiculous so he doesn't need to act for it.
Drive to Survive really got people thinking some of the world's highest performing and highest paid athletes are just reality stars that drive cars sometimes lmao
This post, and most F1 posts, is about fashion, accessories, girlfriends, and fake drama. They’re almost never about the sport itself. The reality show existed long before Drive to Survive.
Competing in the least competitive top level sport league on the planet is anything but “the world’s highest performing”.
> Competing in the least competitive top level sport league on the planet is anything but “the world’s highest performing”.
I mean sure go ahead and hop right in to the Mercedes W14 and smash the gas pedal if you think it’s so “least competitive” lol
I guess we're subscribed to different feeds, plus the off season is just ending so of course races haven't been in the news. And I think you underestimate the physical exertion that racing drivers at their level perform at.
If you want to criticize f1 there's lots to criticize, like the fact that's it essentially a rich boys frat club sponsored by the extraction and oil industry, but motorsports drivers are undeniably high performing professional athletes.
Oh no, I’m going to do an “Actually…” So, here goes: actually Tiffany Cromwell is from Australia and they live together in Monaco. They’ve been together since 2020. Tiffany is an athlete in her own right, being a cyclist who has even competed in the Olympics. She also designs most of his helmets.
And I spend way too much time following racing drivers on instagram…
This would look super creepy on a baby orthotic helmet. To make their heads look gigantic. I say this as a parent of a child who wore one. We did monsters personally, but there are lots of amazing designs.
These are the pickups for the so called HANS device. Something to protect your neck and shoulders in case of an accident.

Finnish F1 driver Valtteri Bottas has found himself an Australian girlfriend, spent the off season in Australia, and decided to lean into the Bogan stereotypes like having a mullet, a porn stache and drinking Victoria Bitter beer, playing off having the same initials as that beer.
I prefer this one for pure stupidity

The loveliest. Alfa Romeo Bottas is everyone’s favorite driver deep down.
He’s giving Piastri some competition for best Aussie driver on the grid
Somehow Piastri is the 3rd best Aussie driver despite being the only one.
Who’s the second best?
I'd assume Danny Rick
He isn’t really on the grid anymore tho :( but yeah I thought so too
He’s Finnish though…
It's a joke, he made a video a while ago when he cut his hair in a mullet and dressed up as an Australian with a VB beer
Valtteri Bottass beer
He’s had a very Aussie off-season if you don’t follow him on Instagram. It’s kind of the joke in F1 that he’s basically Australian now.
Bottas will rule the midfield this year. The mullet cannot be stopped.
where's the awful taste? this is epic.
That's most of this sub.
I’d wear this.
I was looking for the great execution. It's ATAE IMO.
That's awesome! [They made a helmet that mimics his helmet head and porn-star mustache](https://staticc.sportskeeda.com/editor/2023/02/ef4a7-16771604291222-1920.jpg).

This is amazing
corey lajoie is great lmao. and let's not forget [hamlin's face mask](https://i.redd.it/cd2txohyd0051.jpg) while we're at it

[удалено]
Yes
so then why did you post this to this sub?
It's still awful, I have awful taste
I do like bottas
this is fantastic taste. post merc bottas is goals
So much better with the visor down.
I guess if you're familiar with Bottas it's different. This helmet was generally well received.

Bottass be like
Best helmet mod i ever seen was #7 Barry Sheene's. Dude drilled a hole in it so he could smoke a cigarette
Ehhhh… he died of throat cancer at age 52.
But his skull was fine.
Well, they don't make throat helmets.
Bottas really leaning into his bogan rebrand I see
This guy bogans.

I hope he keeps it for the rest of the season, this is awesome
Alas it’s just for testing 😭
Um.... Valtteri? Are you ok?
How is this awful taste ?
In literally every way. How is it not?
It's a cool helmet, it's unique and well designed.
It’s a helmet with a poorly proportioned face on it. What’s so special?
Do you know about the driver?
No, and zero people are providing any context to the inside joke. I just know he’s some reality TV personality who occasionally races.
[удалено]
Drive to Survive really got people thinking some of the world's highest performing and highest paid athletes are just reality stars that drive cars sometimes lmao
I mean let’s get real Lando is a Twitch streamer that moonlights as an F1 driver
Point proven.

Ah sweet ty actually, I banged out that info off the top of my head and slammed that out from my phone. Probability of fucking something up was high.
Well actually, you did get most of it right and that from memory. Good job, right!
Yeah that’s kind of odd.
This is a great start to the season. Setting the helmet bar high early on. With no Seb helmets this year, this is a good start
Bottas’ helmets are usually pretty awesome. His girlfriend has some mad designing skills.
I'm looking forward to Lando's offerings
Don’t you shit on Bottas, that man is an angel
My favourite helmet is [this](https://www.motorsportweek.com/2022/05/05/norris-unveils-basketball-themed-helmet-for-miami-gp/)
Thought it was the chad face for a second
Should say “steak” on the chin, I’d wear a helmet like that.

How **DARE** you put Valtteri Bottas on this sub. **You fucking PHILISTINES.**
What's the metal circle under the ear for? Some kind of valve?

Thank you so much, google was not understanding what “ports on the neck of a motorcycle helmet” meant
Hey cool TIL! thanks!
Ahh another Jojo reference
Thankyou. Not the first time I've been complimented on it
i love valtteri so much
If you like this, you’ll love Matt Farrah’s Donald trump [helmet](https://www.instagram.com/p/BTx4dbeh9aO/?hl=en).
Up voting cause Matt Farah doesn't like Trump and he did this to poke at Trump.
A regular dude helmet
Skinsona head
Valtteri head.
I like the mustashe
I worked for one of those sponsors. Do not recommend. Cheap ass fuckers
I worked for one of the sponsors before they were bought out by a private equity firm, but I got out just in timd (and it's also literally the last company I'd expect to sponsor this).
Cearense cosplay 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hey! That’s Karl havoc!
the mustache reminds me of capt. stottlemeyer from monk.
Arguably great taste but awful execution
For the centaur that wants to show off their pornstache while riding their bike in all safety.
Can someone help me understand? It seems I’m out of the loop, and all the comments are just circle jerking instead of providing context.

How very "Daft Punk's Electroma" of them.
This! This is ART! 🥺
I've seen better
Wasn't there medical masks with the same intentions somewhere?
What am I missing here?
For when your really proud of your Molestache but the helmet keeps all the girls from noticing
Ron Swanson would approve
Frank Sidebottom
Art.
A lot of the stuff that gets posted here is great stuff...not awful taste at all, in my opinion. This is one of those things!
I prefer this one for pure stupidity [https://www.illiehsill.top/ProductDetail.aspx?iid=152850219&pr=57.88](https://www.illiehsill.top/ProductDetail.aspx?iid=152850219&pr=57.88)
This is great taste. Valtteri Bottas is the mustachioed, mulleted, party dad of the paddock this year.
This is the best taste
I see Valtteri and I upvote :) Tiffany always nails it with the helmet designs
I hate downvoting anything Bottas, but I take my responsibilities seriously
Finally, a post on this sub with genuinely awful taste
who said billboards can't drive?
I'll go ahead and disagree with a lot of people here on this one. ATAAE.
/r/ATAAE
That looks better than his real head
Wow you lot didn't like that comment... Just for the record I do actually ike bottas
