Valtteri Bottas and Mercedes are taking part in a demo run in South Korea, marking the first time F1 has returned to the nation since its final grand prix in 2013. The Finnish driver will get behind the wheel of a W13 (from 2022) as part of an event coordinated by Peaches, a car-culture lifestyle brand. F1 raced in the East Asian country between 2010 and 2013, with Bottas racing for Williams in the final edition of the race. The event will take place on October 12 at the Peaches Run Universe in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do. "I was fortunate enough to be in my debut season the last time F1 raced in South Korea back in 2013," Bottas said. "The passion of the fans for our sport was clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. "To be able to bring F1 back to the country is brilliant; the team and I are determined to put on a great show for everyone who will be at the AMG Speedway next month for Peaches Run Universe 2025."
