BBC Sport and Motorsport.com reported that Valtteri Bottas is travelling to the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix by bicycle rather than flying between back-to-back rounds. Motorsport.com reported the Cadillac driver’s route from Sepang International Circuit to Singapore is about 350 kilometres.

Motorsport.com also reported that Bottas started the multi-day ride after retiring early on Sunday. The Finn is in his first season with Cadillac F1 Team, which entered Formula 1 in 2026, and he is listed 22nd in the drivers' championship on 0 points.

Bottas has raced in Formula 1 from 2013 to 2026, with 256 entries, 10 wins, 19 poles and 67 podiums. If the reports are accurate, the trip would be a rare way to reach a Grand Prix weekend for one of the grid’s most experienced drivers.
