Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas spent a day with Alfa Romeo engineers at the Balocco Proving Ground, putting the 33 Stradale supercar through its paces. As one of only 33 owners of the ultra-exclusive Alfa, Bottas had the chance to experience its performance firsthand while offering his input to the development team. The Finnish F1 driver was impressed with the car’s immediate responsiveness, precise handling, and easy-to-control character, stressing how enjoyable it will be for drivers of all skill levels.
Bottas tested the 33 Stradale in both Strada (Road) and Pista (Track) modes, gradually pushing the car to its limits. The supercar delivered in every sense, from smooth and comfortable cruising to adrenaline-filled acceleration. With over 620 horsepower, a top speed of 207 mph, and the ability to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in under three seconds, Bottas was truly impressed. He also appreciated the thoughtful balance between performance and accessibility, making it a supercar that doesn’t require a racing experience.
The collaboration showcases Bottas’ close connection to the Alfa Romeo family, both as an F1 driver and a car enthusiast. His feedback helped refine what promises to be a memorable addition to the supercar world. For Bottas, the day was as much about testing the car as it was about getting a firsthand experience before receiving his own 33 Stradale.
