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."
