The calendar resulted from the interest in prints bottas sold last year and was put together by photographer paul ripke. Whilst wolff stressed the importance of remaining authentic, the austrian explained how bottas would be expected to take a break from the nude calendars “we are mercedes, so maybe the nude calendar is not on anymore,” wolff told racingnews365. Mercedes team principal toto wolff has claimed that valtteri bottas would not be doing any more nude calendars following his return to the german team for the 2025 season. Bottas said the reaction to the first photograph inspired him to create the calendar for charity. Since parting ways with the silver arrows, bottas has grown a mullet, embraced his inner comedian, and even released a viral nude calendar, all while becoming one of f1’s most entertaining personalities.
