ZANDVOORT, Netherlands, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Alfa Romeo driver Valtteri Bottas settled for a six-pack after winning his weight in beer in a cycle race in Colorado over Formula One's August break.
"The prize for the best costume was your weight in beer, and I really wanted to win the prize," said Bottas of last week's event.
"I was thinking about it, obviously being mainly an American crowd, so I went for The Simpsons and Duffman."
Bottas admitted his favourite character was Homer Simpson but also figured it would be tougher riding uphill dressed in that guise.
He also rode a 100-mile gravel race on Sunday, finishing 20th out of 926 entrants.
