Williams’ rookie Valtteri Bottas may still be awaiting his first points finish in Formula One racing, but there’s no doubt he’s made a strong impression, not least with his performance in Canada where he qualified a brilliant third. Now it’s time for the 24-year-old Finn to tackle our special ‘Finishing Line’ quiz; a set of questions specially designed to help you get to know the world’s greatest drivers a little better… The sportsperson I most admire is… Valterri Bottas: My girlfriend Emilia (a Finnish, Olympic swimmer).

My favourite song of all time is… VB: I don’t have one and never have. The best thing about the off-season is… VB:Being able to recharge the batteries. The last time I lost my temper was… VB: Never. I never lose my temper. That’s the Finnish genes! (laughs) My first pet was… VB: A labrador by the name of Rene. The last time I overslept was… VB: Just before the race at Monza - and it was oversleeping without consequences. The greatest feeling in the world is… VB: Winning a race. My most treasured possession is … VB:My health. The funniest person I know is… VB:My girlfriend. My favourite drink is… VB: Sparkling water. You would never catch me wearing… VB: A dress.
