Valtteri Bottas looks unrecognisable as F1 star unveils dramatic new mullet haircut to ‘fit in’ in Australia
VALTTERI BOTTAS looks unrecognisable as he embraced a new haircut as he enjoys a break after the F1 season.
The Finnish racing driver is now sporting a mullet after switching from his usual long hairstyle.
Paired with his moustache, Bottas has a striking look with his new style as he shared a video of the transformation on Twitter.
He is currently in Melbourne, Australia, relaxing after the F1 season finished in Abu Dhabi on November 20.
Bottas is with his partner Tiffany Cromwell as she is from the country.
Being in the country must have given him the inspiration to go for the mullet, as it is a common style there.

In the video he shared on titled #offseason, it starts with him having a coffee with Cromwell and her suggesting that he does not fit in the couple's surroundings.
She asked him: "Well how are you going to do that (fit in)?"
To which Bottas replied: "I think I'm going to need to change my style."
Cromwell then responded by asking: "What do you mean?'", before Bottas answered: "You'll see."
