Racing fans will be forgiven for not knowing who Connor McDavid is, so not everyone will immediately understand the comedic comment someone left under a short video of Valtteri Bottas, hockey ammunition full, famously running across the ice and wielding the stick quite professionally.
“Is that Connor McBottas?” cheerfully asks one of those who follow the activity of the Finnish Alfa Romeo racer on social networks.
In fact, Canadian Connor McDavid is one of the best forwards in the modern NHL, with some even drawing parallels between him and the great Wayne Gretzky. Bottas was serious about hockey in his youth and still follows this sport, so the comparison with McDavid, even in jest, certainly flatters him.
It is worth noting that Valtteri trained on the hockey rink in the uniform of the Canadian club Montreal Canadiens, but this is also understandable: from 2017, arriving at the Canadian Grand Prix, he held demonstration trainings with the players of this club . But the video was not shot in Montreal, but in Nastola, Bottas’ hometown, where he now rests after the end of a difficult season in Formula 1.
By the way, in less than a day this video has been viewed almost one and a half million times.
