However, the Finn proceeded go full monty with his look as he went for a skinny dip in a lake wearing nothing but a swimming cap.

Reacting to the pic on Twitter, the official Mercedes account responded cheekily by saying: “Cracking shot, VB.”

IndyCar driver Pato O‘Ward remarked: “I can tell you’re a skinny dipping fan.”

On Instagram one fan begged: “Valtteri please stop my mom uses this app.”

A second wrote: “Some people are going to wake up to this image 😭.”

While a third joked: “He’s back at it again 😭.”

Indeed, Lewis Hamilton‘s former Mercedes teammate has a history of shedding his clothes.

Last year Bottas shared a post of him preparing for the Singapore Grand Prix with nothing but a reindeer hat on while sitting in a sauna.

Bottas also gifted Hamilton a NUDE picture of himself when they reunited at the Monaco Grand Prix last season.

That pic, which saw Bottas bearing all in a riverbed, raised over £50,000 for charity within the first 24 hours of it being on sale.

Bottas is no stranger to making fans do a double-take on his looks, revealing a new mullet and moustache combo in February which left fans comparing him to a “porn star”.

He picked up a point at last weekend‘s Canadian Grand Prix after a 10th place finish, but he has found points finishes more difficult to come by this season due to Alfa’s performance issues.

He currently ranks 15th in the driver standings having scored just five points so far.
