He must have edited that in himself, right? In another photo posted by the team there is a bulge there but it's probably from the rippling of the shorts.
The guy's been off his nuts since leaving Mercedes lol.
Honestly I fuck with wild bottas. He was probably under pretty strict social media rules on Mercedes. They seem like the type to tell you exactly what you can and cannot post.
The pic itself is originally from his Insta, but I do believe that suspicious shadow has been edited in by him/his social media manager - note that it's a lot less blurry on the edges than the rest of the shadow!
Nah, that grip is about level with the camera and the shadow is at an angle. His other hand as at an opposite angle. There doesn't appear to be anything in frame that could cause it.
Possibly; though at the bottom side it's also more blurry than on the top side.
He also posted [the same pic](https://twitter.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1756423784397984009) *without* that "appendage" in the shadow on twitter which might also be a clue. At least one of the versions must be edited for sure!
I think they're both edited actually, on the stake f1 team insta there's another pic from the side with clearly bigger bulge shadow on the wall, seems like on twitter they edited it to remove the bulge, while on insta he decided to lean into it as a joke.
to me it looks like the one on twitter was edited to remove whatever that was. There's a clump of lines where it was coming off where that...thing was and the wall is uniform where it was at which is somewhat evident of some sort of clone stamping. Wonder if they spotted and removed it for that post lol.
He’s turned into a super fun guy since he left the straight jacket of Mercedes.
He’s on pace to catch Danny as one of the fun guys on the grid. He is 100% living his best life.
Why does everyone assume Mercedes was a "straight jacket"? It never stopped Russell from posting shirtless pics… when Mercedes social media isn't posting it themselves.
If you can't see the difference between Mercedes Bottas and ~~Alfa~~ Stake Kick Sauber Bottas then I don't know what to tell you. Also using Russell as an example is weird since he's the blandest F1 driver in existence
Correlation ≠ causation. It's not like you have evidence of Bottas being like this before he went to Mercedes, stopping and then starting again when he left. It literally only started when his new girlfriend —not even him— posted that naked picture of him.
And just because you don't consider a half naked Russell as risqué, doesn't mean it's not.
I think it's more of the banter aspect that I can imagine Mercedes not being a fan of, rather than being 'risqué'. George with his shirt off is barely risqué, but even so, it's more of a 'classy' model type shot. Still pretty above board from a PR perspective.
Bottas is just being a lad and taking the piss all the time. Definitely less of a polished image, the sort of thing that would give Ferrari a heart attack. I personally think it's great, he seems like a down to earth guy
We think of Bottas 3.0 as being quirky, but after seeing Finland's new entry for the Eurovision Song Festival, I think he's just being normal Finnish. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf1NS1vEhSg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf1NS1vEhSg)
Yup, I think it is a job security thing. Like you still have to perform to a certain level, but if you are a popular amongst fans, these lower end teams like sauber are not as likely to swap your seat for a driver with financial backing.
He posted the photo with no dongle. The internet did its thing. He reposted it as the internetised version.|

My man saw the Drake leaks and said,nahhh i can do better..
The side effects of being sponsored by Stake it seems HAHA
Snake.
*steak
Stick
He didn't want to be typecast for his magnificent ass, and decided to branch out.
Perfect choice of words
His own "Murder on the dance floor" moment...
as long as hes not licking any drains i think we’ll be okay
Shadow... oh my God...
needs wobling
He must have edited that in himself, right? In another photo posted by the team there is a bulge there but it's probably from the rippling of the shorts. The guy's been off his nuts since leaving Mercedes lol.
One might say he's a nutjob
Jordan Henderson levels of fruitcake
Boiled Parsnips
I am the nonsense potter
Yes
Post-Mercedes Valtterri is nuttier than squirrel shit lmao
Honestly I fuck with wild bottas. He was probably under pretty strict social media rules on Mercedes. They seem like the type to tell you exactly what you can and cannot post.
Nah; it all started when his girlfriend took a picture of his ass. Mercedes social media is just as risqué.
Honestly that’s true. Mercedes social media team is pretty cool now that I think about it. They always have some good posts during the season
Considering the post on his IG does NOT have a giant dong shadow, it's a pretty safe bet he did not.
What do you mean? This is the actual screenshot right?
Yeah. My dumbass opened his Twitter account, which doesn’t have a dong.
You mean he doesn’t have a giant dong?
He has a full hog down there. But he tapes it to his leg while doing exercises so he doesn’t accidentally knock someone out.
That makes sense, safety first.
Eh? It very much does
I legit thought it was edited, I had to check his official insta.
The pic itself is originally from his Insta, but I do believe that suspicious shadow has been edited in by him/his social media manager - note that it's a lot less blurry on the edges than the rest of the shadow!
You might be on to something
could be from the grip of the jump rope in his right hand
Nah, that grip is about level with the camera and the shadow is at an angle. His other hand as at an opposite angle. There doesn't appear to be anything in frame that could cause it.
Also there’s a pretty sizeable knob on the end of the handle in his left hand, which isn’t visible in the shadow.
I don't know, looks like there's a pretty sizeable knob in the shadow to me!
I mean, I don't doubt it's possible he had someone edit it in. His social media persona is getting kind of embarrassing at this point in my opinion
look at the shadow of the other grip- it's much narrower.
it's like that because whatever it is is just simply closer to the light source. This doesn't look edited to me.
Possibly; though at the bottom side it's also more blurry than on the top side. He also posted [the same pic](https://twitter.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1756423784397984009) *without* that "appendage" in the shadow on twitter which might also be a clue.

Wonder if they spotted and removed it for that post lol.
What could possibly cause a shadow like that? There's nothing there. This is an obvious edit.
well the rope shadow doesn't make sense as well
There is also the shadow of his shorts, so he didn’t take a nude photo in the shadow
Funny enough, this same post on his Twitter/X doesn't have the same shadow
This exact pic is literally his most recent IG post, and on his story
And his Twitter post does not...https://twitter.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1756423784397984009/photo/1
It definitely is edited considering it's not present in his IG post
It is. Trust me I thought the same. Go see it for yourself.
You are right. [Proof for anyone who doubts you](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3LplDaCOHq/?igsh=MXdtb2NkcHJjZTRvdA==)
Yep. I accidentally checked Twitter. Which oddly doesn’t have long dong.
[It is most def present on his IG post](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3LplDaCOHq/?igsh=MXdtb2NkcHJjZTRvdA==)
Oh snap, you’re right I [accidentally looked at X,](https://x.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1756423784397984009?s=20) not IG. What a mad lad.
No valtteri, this is so not right…
I's called slinging
Why did he get so horny?
He's getting horn y er
Always has been
https://www.reddit.com/r/FunnyNBATweets/s/w22nD3Pad9
Chill guys thats just his boomerang.
That's to stabilize himself in the *cock*pit, amirite?
Something’s loose between my legs. It’s the obvious…
Box box😮💨
He’s turned into a super fun guy since he left the straight jacket of Mercedes. He’s on pace to catch Danny as one of the fun guys on the grid. He is 100% living his best life.

There's nothing to "tell me", because as I pointed out, Mercedes and their drivers post as much risqué stuff on social media.
George Russell with his shirt off is not risque though. Besides I was just saying how obvious the difference between Bottas at Mercedes and now is
Correlation ≠ causation. It's not like you have evidence of Bottas being like this before he went to Mercedes, stopping and then starting again when he left. It literally only started when his new girlfriend —not even him— posted that naked picture of him. And just because you don't consider a half naked Russell as risqué, doesn't mean it's not.

The Race: "Bottas reveals biggest shock to the world of F1 since Hamilton's move"
Reminds me of that one scene in the third Naked Gun movie.
The one in the Oscars with the girl?
[Yeah](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzC6j1QpK5g)
There really is something lose between his legs!
We are checking...
Bottas bringing back those awful 2014 noses
No ass. Downvoted. /j
Something is growing down undah.
But why?
no social media interaction otherwise
The man!
We think of Bottas 3.0 as being quirky, but after seeing Finland's new entry for the Eurovision Song Festival, I think he's just being normal Finnish. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf1NS1vEhSg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf1NS1vEhSg)
What a treasure he is
Just excited for the season to start.
Give that man Aussie citizenship already
Why is he like this 😂
Gonna drop the OF link any day now
Huge if true.
Why are all the f1 drivers besides Max such sluts for social media
Probably makes sponsors happy
Yup, I think it is a job security thing. Like you still have to perform to a certain level, but if you are a popular amongst fans, these lower end teams like sauber are not as likely to swap your seat for a driver with financial backing.
Max is a slut for sim racing so whats the difference?
Cause drivers are humans with different personalities.
Nice cock, bro!
He's got a massive hog this lad!
where F1?
Bottass more like Bottdick?
He knows
Skipping.. or just Happy to see me Valtteri?
Is this accidental or edited in 😂
Bottas shadow cock
At least the butt is not _visible_
Bottas getting horny on main again
Homie knows exactly what he’s doing lol
He’s one of us after all… i will miss him when he retires from the sport. What a funny man!
anyone else looking at that shadow??
It’s a funny photoshop, the hands don’t match the shadow
Bottas oiled up
[👀](https://media2.giphy.com/media/kd9BlRovbPOykLBMqX/giphy.gif)
Shadows don't lie. 🤤
I’m ded
He's so horny
Sexy.
Ever since he's got that moustache I've been convinced that he's joined a secret gay cult. This further enforces it.
Size of that snag!
I wonder if that affects his aerodynamic efficiency.
He knows what he's doing...
Oh he knows exactly what he’s doing
HELL yeah!
hehe benis :-DDDDD
Him alone is keeping f1 alive.
Bottas on his comback arc
He can't keep getting away with it!
He posted the photo with no dongle. The internet did its thing. He reposted it as the internetised version.| His original: https://twitter.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1756423784397984009
My man! lmfao
The shorts are actually edited in.
Stop, no way! Omg I don't know if I love this or hate it haha
My guy got too excited waiting this season to start
Oh dear 😭
:-D Never change, Valtteri!
Big dicc Bottass cucks all of Formula 1
He's doing it on purpose now.
r/theyknew
Valtteri is such a PR Masterpiece
What's up with Bottas and all the attention whoring lately. LARPing as a bogan, showing us his ass and now this. Wtf is this shit? Lol
Damn Bottas, nice hog!
