@@KymIllmani can imagine. You see them every other weekend but you don’t really see them - you see the PR side because who knows when theres a rogue cameraman nearby! But when you get them on their own - fantastic. I did it with Lando and Lewis (McLaren Lewis) and was great. V.B is just a class act all round.
He seems like a very cool, level-headed, and genuine guy. The fact that he’s back at Mercedes, even if it’s as a reserve driver, says a lot about the positive impression he must made there.
Valtteri can literally do no wrong in my world. He’s tops of the good natured, well-rounded, funny, and kind humans on the planet. I could watch Valtteri content all day long and never get tired. Just love him ❤
What a genuine guy. I also really love how he supports Tiffany through her intense cycling career - she's one of the top female cyclists in the world and puts in absolutely everything to get there, and he's always behind her
Always great to see the personal side of the drivers. It gives you a sense of how down to earth some of them really are despite being in an elite and intensely demanding sport. Thanks Kym for feeding our F1 appetite during the off season. Excellent production as always!
The way the video was made, so personal, it was like two friends enjoying a sunny day. That is the best real video of a sports star person I've seen in a long while. Congrats! Love you and Valtteri. Cheers from Brazil and see you both in November!
Finns are absolutely the most down to earth, honest, chill people out there. I miss Kimi and now I'll miss the hell out of Valtteri. Can't wait to see what's next
This was a lot of fun and super chill. Might sound super weird but the whole experience felt very down to earth. The fan at the end was a perfect and wholesome way to end it. More casual hangout sessions please!
As an older F1 fan and cycling enthusiast, I’ve been riding Canyon bikes for years and I LOVE the fact that Valtteri is dating a Team Canyon rider and competes on a Canyon. He’s always come across as a genuine guy, bum-out and all. I wish him and Tiffany the best! 🙌🏾
As a Perthite I love seeing this. Couldn’t make the race due to engagement but will keep an eye out for next year. Seems such a genuine person and happy to speak with fans. Nice on
Thank you for interviewing him! Valtteri has been my favorite driver since I started following F1 in 2017. I love his thoughtful, sincere nature as well as his mischievous side! PS- I also like pineapple on pizza! (Though to be fair, I like ALL pizza)
Thank you both for always being positive in a world that loves criticising, blaming people who are doing their best, instead of seeing the good and encouraging what makes us better human beings.
This was great Kym! Bottas seems like a good guy. It's awesome that he was in your hometown and that you two got together for this interview.... All it needed was ozzyman to swing by 😂, should have given him a call he's local. Also liked your info about the brown snakes at your place!
That was an awesome clip! I'm glad you got to have a good chat! He's definitely a great adopted Aussie 😅 I love his outlook and positive attitude, and he's a pretty Good cyclist too!
I got into F1 after 2020 and while some might say 2021 wasn't Valtteri's happiest season, I saw right through that and he immediately became one of my favorite personalities on the grid. All drivers seem pretty nice but Valtteri is the one you want to be mates with.
Good on you Kym. Valtteri is such a great individual. Your interview was genuine and compassionate with a person who is usually moving at F1 pace because he has too not because that's who he is. Thank you great video.
Thanks for interviewing Valtteri!! He fast became my favourite driver on the grid, he seems so genuine and lovely but he's often overshadowed by bigger personalities which is a shame. Perth looks brilliant, will have to add it to my bucket list 😄
Love BOT! He is a relatable guy who surfs the silver lining in all his life's waves. Most of us would gladly welcome him as a friend. He's a Marketing Goldmine...his Uber commercials are priceless. Thanks for meeting up with him and sharing Kym. Your content is addictive. What Next?
It's good to see VB hanging around Aussie locations... hoping to see him in my neck of the woods some day (Darwin). He can definitely get an honorary key to the country.
Two of my favourite sports 🚴🏎️, well done Kym, Marcel Kittel at the pizza stand 😂..ps 19th as a part time rider in that age group is quite an achievement WD VB
He would have to be the most genuine personable driver in F1 in a very long time. So much opportunity for him in Ozzie and it would be great for him to call it home.
as a finn it's nice to see australians appreciating valtteri as the great guy he is!! :) also the mullet is somewhat popular in finnish hockey scheme but he seems to fit right in even more like this!!
He’s such a genuine human.
Happy to get some minutes with him alone.
he is, but his choice of pizza toppings is criminal, and should put him in the stocks for a week

We need more people in this world like him!
he certainly possesses a lot of human traits one would expect of a human.
He seems like a very cool, level-headed, and genuine guy. The fact that he’s back at Mercedes, even if it’s as a reserve driver, says a lot about the positive impression he must made there.
He just seems like Bottas is content and just loving life. Seems like a great, down to earth guy.
I mean, why wouldn't he? Multi-millionaire, F1 driver, lovely girlfriend who shares your passions and hobbies... He's doing very well indeed.
@MarkoVukovic0 Fair enough
i read it first like he’s social media content and agree fully
Valtteri can literally do no wrong in my world. He’s tops of the good natured, well-rounded, funny, and kind humans on the planet. I could watch Valtteri content all day long and never get tired. Just love him ❤
Now that was an awesome video. Loved every second. Cheers Kym.
Thanks for watching!
He is an honorary Aussie in my eyes
Will take him in the US as well 😊
Excellent high quality content!
He’s a great guy.
@KymIllman He absolutely is. Me and my friends love him from here in India.
What a genuine guy. I also really love how he supports Tiffany through her intense cycling career - she's one of the top female cyclists in the world and puts in absolutely everything to get there, and he's always behind her
What a gentleman. Class

It is my pleasure, sir or madam
Pineapple on Pizza? Bottas might just be my GOAT now

Imagine living on an island off the coast of Australia and Valtteri coming up to get a selfie with you. Lucky little quokka!
This was a lot of fun and super chill. Might sound super weird but the whole experience felt very down to earth. The fan at the end was a perfect and wholesome way to end it. More casual hangout sessions please!

I wish him and Tiffany the best! 🙌🏾
She comes from Stirling, near Adelaide which shows he has excellent taste, as does she.
I love Valtteri and rooted for him every year he was racing. Would love to see him back behind the wheel.
Shame not to see Bottas on the grid this year but at least he'll keep being in the loop as a reserve driver. Thanks for the interview, Kym.
You’re welcome
I really loved Bottas’ team play while at Mercedes. But, this video puts him on the next level. He genuinely seems like a nice person…!
As a Perthite I love seeing this. Couldn’t make the race due to engagement but will keep an eye out for next year. Seems such a genuine person and happy to speak with fans. Nice on
He made perth look so attractive in this video
Pineapple on pizza? Absolutely YES! Best of luck to Valtteri in 2025!!! Thanks for the great vlog Kym!!!
Best quote from Bottas was “ when I look in the mirror this is what a real man looks like! That is just an awesome answer!
It's so good to have him represent South Aus ❤ Can't get enough of him!!
Thank you for interviewing him! Valtteri has been my favorite driver since I started following F1 in 2017. I love his thoughtful, sincere nature as well as his mischievous side!
PS- I also like pineapple on pizza! (Though to be fair, I like ALL pizza)
We love our honorary Aussie VB!! The Moe n The Mullet!! 🇦🇺🇫🇮 happy that his still in the F1 scene
He’s a class act
Valtteri is a legend.
I've always loved Bettas. What a humble guy, rare in F1.
He’s a real nice genuine guy, i wish I could of met him , I’m happy to hear he loves Perth , come back again :) ⭐️👍🏽
He's a LEGEND 7️⃣7️⃣🇫🇮👑🫶🏻
The man you are, is who I aspire to be, Valtteri.
4:36 that girl had a 2nd hand embarrassment
Lovely to see Valtteri on or off track. AND THANK YOU I love pineapple and pizza
Thanks for all the insights Kym!
My pleasure. Plenty more to come this year.
“What’s next?” Should be a question we all ask ourselves. What a great way to look at your future
Thank you both for always being positive in a world that loves criticising, blaming people who are doing their best, instead of seeing the good and encouraging what makes us better human beings.
Thanks for that.
always a favorite and a good man!
I've been a Valtteri fan for many years. He's so talented. I hope he gets a seat at Mercedes.
Top bloke, great lil video mate. Lee
Also, thank you kym for the great content.
You are very welcome.
This was great Kym! Bottas seems like a good guy.
It's awesome that he was in your hometown and that you two got together for this interview....
All it needed was ozzyman to swing by 😂, should have given him a call he's local.
Also liked your info about the brown snakes at your place!
If Valtteri is reading this, we all love you Val hoping to see you soon on the grid you the best 🙏🏻❤️
That was an awesome clip! I'm glad you got to have a good chat! He's definitely a great adopted Aussie 😅 I love his outlook and positive attitude, and he's a pretty Good cyclist too!
Valtteri is such an awesome bloke. TY Kym. You're pretty awesome yourself.
Happy you enjoyed this
Indeed! He’s a fine man and a gentleman 😊 such a nice guy! I hope VB will be back on the grid soon! 🎉
grinning ear to ear (for no apparent reason) just watching him being wholesome in this video. all the best, Valtteri.
Very very well put together vid! Good to see Valtteri so chill and happy
He’s got it made!
One of the most chilled drivers on the paddock!
This is your best video in a long time! I simply love Valtteri and his attitude towards life 😉
It’s not often I have talent like him available
That was a wonderful interview and video. Very laid back and very real!
Valtteri should be on the grid next year! The dude cooks
Already know Im going to enjoy this one, Glad to see some 1 on 1 insight into the BTS of well, Reserve drivers for F1.
Can only do this outside the F1 tracks.
@@KymIllman Glad that you go out of your way to do so 🙂, Great video man loved it!
The grid will miss Valtteri next year but at least he'll still be in the background for each race. Great insight as always Kym!
We’ll see more of him in the paddock though because he won’t be out on track for seven hours event
Thank you (both) so much for this. It's always a delight to see Valtteri. Wishing him nothing but the best moving forward.
We agree!
I got into F1 after 2020 and while some might say 2021 wasn't Valtteri's happiest season, I saw right through that and he immediately became one of my favorite personalities on the grid. All drivers seem pretty nice but Valtteri is the one you want to be mates with.
Both him and Daniel Ricciardo look real chill and laidback outside of the F1 circus!
Good on you Kym. Valtteri is such a great individual. Your interview was genuine and compassionate with a person who is usually moving at F1 pace because he has too not because that's who he is. Thank you great video.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for interviewing Valtteri!! He fast became my favourite driver on the grid, he seems so genuine and lovely but he's often overshadowed by bigger personalities which is a shame. Perth looks brilliant, will have to add it to my bucket list 😄
Kym, that was a great relaxed interview mate, probably one of the best F1 interview for the record.
Great video we love VB such an down to earth and hard working man with an XL sense of humor not to mention his amazing talent in F1
Valtteri is forever cool.
I think Valtteri is the most down to earth F1 driver, this interview confirmed it.
Seems like a super nice and down to earth guy. Same for you, Kym, and thanks for the great content.
This is mint! Thank you for capturing this man in our city!
Love BOT! He is a relatable guy who surfs the silver lining in all his life's waves. Most of us would gladly welcome him as a friend. He's a Marketing Goldmine...his Uber commercials are priceless. Thanks for meeting up with him and sharing Kym. Your content is addictive. What Next?
Thanks for getting through the video and commenting
He seems like such a genuine guy. Thanks for doing this video.
What a pleasant surprise, I wasn’t expecting this video. Thank you!
What a lovely relaxed and interesting interview Kym. You did such a great job. Valtteri seems to be an all round great guy!
A great chat with a great honorary Aussie. Well Done Kym and Valtteri.
Awesome, guy thanks for the in depth video Kym! Welcome to Perth Valtteri!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Love it. Valtteri is a gem. Great job, Kym
I love valtteri
What a lovely interview!
Thank you for consistently delivering such outstanding content-it’s truly the best!✨
Plenty more to come this year too. Thanks.
Kim, thanks for the in-depth interview with a great guy.
That was excellent Kym. He is one of our favourites just because of his personality. 👍
So many amazing humans gone from F1 this year, Bottas is definitely one of them! What a character!
Love this best interview!!!! Thanks so much!!!
Valtteri always comes across as a genuine person. Best of luck for the future mate 👍🏽
I loved this interview. This was so natural and easygoing. Thank you guys ☺️
Love that Valteri will be back in the paddock this season
What a champion! He gets our humour too which sets it all off 👌🏼👍🏼
man hes just such a cool humble down to earth guy, we miss you boss
Such a top bloke.. loved to see him get a couple of races this year.
another great vid, always enjoy the way you present
still love the bloopers at the end
thanks
It's good to see VB hanging around Aussie locations... hoping to see him in my neck of the woods some day (Darwin). He can definitely get an honorary key to the country.
Top Aussie! The mullet is his cardigan - we bow down to ya, sir dude!
I really hope we'll see him as often as possible.
I hope so too!
I love Valtteri's bigger perspective on things, clean and uncluttered!!!!❤❤❤
Two of my favourite sports 🚴🏎️, well done Kym, Marcel Kittel at the pizza stand 😂..ps 19th as a part time rider in that age group is quite an achievement WD VB
He would have to be the most genuine personable driver in F1 in a very long time. So much opportunity for him in Ozzie and it would be great for him to call it home.
awesome video, must have been so cool to spend casual time with an F1 driver
Just lucky he had nothing to do for a couple of hours
Great interview Kym, seems like a genuine fellow 👍
I'm glad you liked it.
Your interviews are the best
Cheers
thx for the video, i hope he will be happy back with the mercedes team, a class guy :)
What a fantastic bloke - v humble - love it
Brilliant ambassador for f1 and absolute gentleman as well
Great video of one of F1's true nice guys. Great scoop, Kym. I have been to Perth twice. Very few cities worldwide compare to this great WA city.
It’s got a great river
FIRST TIME THAT I'VE WATCH A CLIP, WITHOUT FF. WHAT A CHAMP
2 awesome guys in the best off season video so far! Love Valtteri! Love Kym! Love Australia! And love pineapples on pizza 🤩
Nice to see so many happy viewers commenting here
as a finn it's nice to see australians appreciating valtteri as the great guy he is!! :) also the mullet is somewhat popular in finnish hockey scheme but he seems to fit right in even more like this!!
He is amazing! We need guys like him in racing.
Congrats! Great driver and a great mate too! From New Orleans.
Man, he’s so likeable.
