Long-term teammates Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton are still at great intervals, although today they compete against each other in different stables.
A good sign of this was seen during the Monaco race weekend when Bottas, representing Alfa Romeo, gave Hamilton a rather hilarious gift.
In a painting received by Hamilton, a naked Bottas fluttered in a rapids in the forests of Colorado. An Instagram picture of the moment of swimming shared by Bottas more than two weeks ago is immortalized in the painting.
The image became an instant hit on social media and has garnered over 430,000 likes.

The image, which had become a phenomenon, was edited to produce a handsome pot. Bottas directed the proceeds to charity.
– The power of social media is huge. 50,000 euros a day from the canker of such a guy, Bottas said.
Hamilton clearly had a laughing restraint when Bottas revealed the board to his old teammate.

“Maybe I’ll put a sticker of myself on this rock,” Hamilton said.
Bottas drove Hamilton as a teammate in Mersu from 2017–2021. In the current World Cup points, Bottas are just eight points behind Hamilton.
