What's next? Podcast by Valtteri Bottas & Paul Ripke

What’s next? This time from a car in Bahrain during Formula 1 testing week. Paul just celebrated his birthday in full Dad Mode, while Valtteri was in the UAE supporting Tiffany before heading to Bahrain. Along the way, Valtteri shares his Soul Theory while traveling and what really happened during his last five-hour layover at LAX. Also, Paul reflects on his very first true What’s next? moment as a child.

What’s next? Paul and Valtteri are on opposite sides of the world right now, but at least finding a time to connect is easy. In this episode, we try to make sense of Valtteri’s travel schedule over the last six days (and ask ourselves what aliens would think watching it from above). What actually happened to his bike along the way? And what’s going on with the VB77 World Tour T-shirt?

What's next? And what happens when your social battery hits zero? In this episode, we talk about being socially drained, needing a hard reset, and why alone time can be just as important as being around people. From life on the road in F1 and cycling races in Australia to campervan evenings, long flights, espresso standards and mistaken TV interviews with a Valtteri look-alike.

What’s next? It’s been a busy week, little sleep, and a lot of stories to catch up on. Paul and Valtteri talk about a new car day in Silverstone, what a seat fit actually is, and why grown adults sometimes end up crying in motorsport. There’s a look back at last week’s travel chaos, inconsistent sleep schedules, and Paul’s stop at Harvard. They also share stories from their joint trip to Australia - from breakfast with Tiffany and supporting the Tour Down Under to Valtteri’s ultimate jetlag saver.
