Today is the fifth anniversary of Valtteri Bottas’s best performance in F1 – powered by porridge.
Lewis Hamilton captured pole position at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne in 2019, his sixth consecutive pole at Albert Park. Although he finished second in the race, it marked a significant victory for his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, who outperformed Hamilton on track. This victory signified a resurgence for Bottas, who had faced criticism in the previous season for being labeled as “Hamilton’s wingman.” Bottas’s win was fueled by a no-nonsense performance, leading to a dominant victory and a memorable post-race message. Despite Hamilton’s strong performance in subsequent races, Bottas’s achievement in Melbourne went down in history with his fastest lap point.
