Overview

• Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas has raised $150,000 for men's health charity Movember with a 'Bottass 2024' calendar featuring photographs of him.
• The calendar idea came about after Bottas' partner, Australian cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, took a picture of him lying naked in a stream in Aspen, Colorado, which was sold for charity.
• The initial run of 10,000 calendars, with €5 ($5.46) from each going to prostate cancer research, swiftly sold out with more printed.
• Bottas announced the success of the charity initiative via social media, thanking everyone for their support.
• Bottas' mother initially had reservations about the calendar, but was reassured when she learned it was for charity.
