Valtteri Bottas Engaged to Cyclist Tiffany Cromwell

Valtteri Bottas just pulled off a pretty clever social media prank, asking his girlfriend Tiffany Cromwell a very important question – but it’s not quite what you might think.

The former Mercedes F1 driver, known these days for his surprisingly funny social media presence, shared a video that had fans doing a double-take.

“Can we go to Finland GRVL on August 9th?” Bottas asked his professional cyclist girlfriend, who responded with a playful shrug and “I guess so.”

He threw his arms up in celebration, declaring “She said yes!” – playing on the traditional marriage proposal announcement format that’s become so familiar on social media.

It’s just the latest example of how Bottas has transformed since leaving Mercedes. Gone is the serious, reserved driver we used to know. In his place is someone who’s clearly having a lot more fun with life.

The change really kicked in when he moved to Alfa Romeo in 2022, after Mercedes chose to go with George Russell instead. Since then, Bottas has become something of a social media sensation, regularly posting content that shows off his newfound lighter side.

Cycling has become a huge part of his life with Cromwell, who competes professionally. The couple often races together, combining their shared passion for the sport.

The Finland GRVL event they’ll be attending is a gravel cycling race – something that’s become a regular activity for the pair when they’re not busy with their respective racing careers.

This playful proposal video is just the latest in a string of viral moments from Bottas, who’s proven he’s got quite the talent for entertaining his fans off the track.
