Bottas turned up at the launch of Alf🔴a Romeo’s new car and pre-season testing rocking a new mullet and moustache, a look he acquired in Australia during the winter break. 

The Finn even ran a hilarious one-off helmet design for testing that matc💎hed his haircut. 

But Bottas explained that “company policies” at Mercedes would have prevented him from pulling off such a look when he was teammates with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton between 2017 and 2021. 

However, at Al🦂fa Romeo, Bottas feels he has the freedom to express himself. 

"Now I feel like I can truly be who I am, for sure there's a bi🥀t of a difference,” Bottas said. 

"I think company policies might be a bi🎃t different in different workplaces le🍸t's say.

"Some things might be a bit more restricted, but I think it's time and getting older as well, all༒ the skills and learning F1 has given me, you eve꧑ntually just learn sometimes not to take things too seriously, especially yourself.

"I imagine I would not have been alꩵlowed [to grow the mullet at Mercedes], so that🦄's one example.”

When asked what theꦬ highlight of his off-season was, Bottas replied: “Getting𝄹 the mullet. 

“A big highlight of my life, probably. For now it's staying. It fe🙈els veཧry much part of me."
