Career

Bottas won both the 2008 Formula Renault Eurocup and the 2008 Formula Renault Northern European Cup. In doing so, he repeated the feat of Filipe Albuquerque, who won both the NEC and Eurocup in the same season, in 2006.
Bottas competing at the second round of the 2010 Formula 3 Euro Series at Hockenheim.
Bottas would have also won the 2007 Formula Renault UK Winter Series, had he been holding an MSA-registered licence for the championship. This did however not stop him from competing, and he won three out of the four races in the championship.
He moved up into the Formula Three Euroseries for the 2009 season, competing for reigning champions ART Grand Prix. Despite not winning a race, Bottas set two pole positions on his way to third in the championship, edging out Alexander Sims at the final race. In June 2009, Bottas won the 2009 Masters of Formula 3, also claiming the pole position and setting the fastest lap of the race. By winning the event again in 2010, he became the first driver to win the F3 Masters title for the second time.[1]
In 2010 Bottas was assigned test driver for the Williams Formula One team[2] and would continue as such for the 2011 & 2012 (where he took part in 15 Friday Free Practice sessions)[3] seasons, during which he also contested the GP3 Series, remaining with F3 squad ART.[4] After a tough start to the season, he claimed a win in each of the last four race weekends and secured the title by winning the penultimate race ahead of his team-mate James Calado.[5]
Bottas will return to racing in 2013, as he was confirmed as teammate to Pastor Maldonado at Williams for the 2013 Formula One season on 28 November 2012.[6]

Personal life

Bottas is in a relationship with Finnish swimmer Emilia Pikkarainen.[7]
