The Australian Grand Prix is just around the corner, and F1’s Valtteri Bottas has dropped perhaps the best advance commercial in Uber history.
Danny Rick and Oscar Piastri may be the only Australians on the grid, but after nailing the culture lot, Valtteri can be officially added as an honorary Australian. You may have been a little confused by this whole thing, and I get it.Because most of this very Australians — Well, I’m here to help.
car
First off, it appears to be a modified Holden Maloo, one of Australia’s legendary muscle cars. It’s a two-door sport ute, basically his V8, 500 horsepower muscle car with a truck bed. El Camino on steroids. Utes are very Australian and the Maloo is the best example of this.
hair
It’s strange that the mullet is now becoming cool among kids again, as it has forever lived on in a corner of the Australian lifestyle (particularly the hoon car culture). Bottas’ mullet is a good mullet.
Meat Pie
A beginner’s mistake here. The pie is a great take-home food, but Valtteri burnt his mouth because he didn’t put sauce (ketchup) on the top of the pie. The first bite adds a much-needed cooling layer to the pie, so your mouth won’t burn.
“T-back storage”
We call flip-flops “T-backs” and thongs are called G-strings.
budgie smuggler
Really tight Speedo style men’s swimsuits are called “Budgie Smugglers”. Budgerigars are small parakeets, and if you were to smuggle a parakeet into a pair of tiny pants…I think you can see where that bulge is.
“Bird” horn
It’s a Japanese kingfisher. This bird is endemic to Australia and its cry sounds like a mocker.They are great but being woken up at 6am is very annoying
Valtteri Bottas is a legend who really understands that. I hope you understand what this is all about.
