Always great when they do these with a driver who's actually touched a hockey stick before showing up in Brossard.

[@juliansmith4295]

Which means they're always going to be Canadian or Finnish...possibly German.

[@RIUUI007]

@@juliansmith4295 Bottas, Kimi, Mika and Marcus Ericsson. Those are the ones I've seen actually being good at hockey. Are there any more?

[@hamswakii]

Well, Bottas is a part-owner of a team in the Finnish hockey league.

[@ReinhardP]

​@@juliansmith4295Nah, low percentage chance with Germans.

[@emligj]

Stroll and sargent i guess and mabye Magnusen and Hulkenberg

[@JanneVirtanen-ep7pl]

That Zamboni is faster than the Sauber

[@slottygw2wvw842]

No

[@pellemiljoona5330]

He could probably skate faster than the Sauber.

[@Pokemonmaster150b]

Faster than Alpine and Haas for sure 😂

[@FrederF_FrederF]

Bottas is hands down to coolest dude in F1 right now... and was close 2nd when Kimi was around.

[@jdbrisebois8732]

Ylonen played for the Pelicans (team Bottas is part owner). So there's an actual connection to Habs 👍

[@vitalyaloves]

That's pretty cool

[@dan7291able]

Well that was awesome, i love that they were actually "worried" when he got on the zamboni lol... i THINK the guy can handle it lmao..

[@audrey3155]

the only non-awkward one of these so far. what a joy!!

[@fyrmun37]

I’ve never seen Bottas smile so much! ❤

[@Fatpotatoboy]

Watch him and Lewis race Toto

[@kevinn1158]

Finns and Canadians. Hockey is number one.

[@chewiebacka4377]

He doesn't look lost on skates. Zamboni driving was a must!

[@MrKevlarkent]

very few men from finland is lost on skates (and a lot of women know how to ice-skate too)

[@snowman22ism]

Bottas is gold man... Love that guy...

[@lup1up]

Damn obviously they're pros but still, those shots are cleeean. It's a nice reminder that it's not just the Crosby's, McD's, and Bedards with insane shots. The NHL is truly something.

[@Vacohockey]

👍

[@headlights-go-up]

Lol right? It's kinda easy to forget that even the "worst" of the NHL is still the best of the best. (This isn't saying Montreal is the worst, just a general statement. I love the Habs.)

[@Mike-yt7py]

​@@headlights-go-upI remember an ahl player turning up at our beer league scrimmage about 6/7 years ago and it was absolutely ridiculous how good he was without even trying and completely embarrassed us all without being a dick with it. And he still never got near the NHL. The standard of players now is amazing

[@counterfit5]

I think it was Brian Scalabrine that told a bunch of amateurs "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me". Same applies in hockey.

[@holliefitzzz]

i remember being in a hockey camp in banff and mark messier's not-quite-as-good cousin Mitch was there and he took a shot and it hurt through my goalie leg pads.

very impressed with Val’s skills! 😮

[@DiktatrSquid]

Ice-skating and shooting pucks is not an uncommon pastime for Finns. I'm sure he's had chances to practice :D

[@felixeur1276]

Fairly sure he plays in a men's league during the offseason in Finland

[@tsuhna1167]

Valtteri has some sure, because he played junior hockey too until he picked racing as a career.

[@johart309]

the truth came out at the end. he was just scouting his future team mates

[@ssjl9999]

Love this collab

[@Amm17ar]

Bottas looks right at home. I know he's an unofficial Aussie, but can we do something about making him an honourary Canadian too?

[@JoTheSnoop]

I'm an Aussie who just happens to be a fan of the Canadiens. Why not?

[@Amm17ar]

@@JoTheSnoop I appreciate your endorsement.

[@timitri8]

How he got the unofficial Aussie tittle?😄
