Bottas admits ‘madness’ in new challenge announcement
F1 driver Valtteri Bottas is gearing up for a unique challenge as part of Adidas’ Chasing100 project, aiming to break the world record for a 100-kilometer distance on August 26.
The current record, set in 2023 by Aleksandr Sorokin, stands at six hours, five minutes, and 35 seconds, with rumors suggesting Sorokin may be involved in the attempt to break his own record.
Bottas shared a cryptic Instagram post showcasing his training for the event, emphasizing the teamwork and innovation required to push the limits of human potential.
As Bottas focuses on this endurance challenge, speculation mounts about his potential return to the F1 grid with Cadillac in 2026 as his deal with the team is believed to be in place.
Should Bottas secure a spot with Cadillac, reports indicate Sergio Perez could be his teammate, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead for the Finnish driver.
