Valtteri Bottas, a 37-year-old Finnish Formula 1 driver for Cadillac, cycled from Sepang, Malaysia, to Singapore ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. After retiring from the Bahrain Grand Prix, which was held in Malaysia due to the Iran war, Bottas decided to cover the 350-kilometer distance by bike. He set out on the journey, posting on social media about riding on gravel roads. The trip was expected to take three days, with practice for the Singapore race starting on October 9. Bottas has not scored points this season and has had eight DNFs.
