Bottas relaxes and cycles in Baja California with his girlfriend

It may be the final week of the Formula 1 autumn break, but teams and drivers are still enjoying their time away from the sport before they come back to work for the final six races in the season. For the first time in F1, a break in the autumn month of Septemebr has come about as a result of the mammoth 24-race calendar, and it has given everyone involved in F1 some extra time off, which Valtteri Bottas has taken advanage of.

Before racing gets back underway in Austin, Texas for the United States Grand Prix, Bottas and his girlfriend Tiffany Cromwell have gone to the Mexican state of Baja California for some time away. In the state that borders California, both Bottas and Cromwell enjoyed the sun in the picturesque desert. And, of course, there was time to get on the bike and have some time cycling, one of Bottas' favourite hobbies away from the track.
