Valtteri Bottas marked his return to the Mercedes Formula 1 Team by driving a DTM race-winning Mercedes 190E and Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival.
Bottas made his third straight appearance at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, his first as a Mercedes driver and the first time he has driven Mercedes cars at the event.
He joined the Exotics category in the all new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé, before jumping into Andrew Miedecke's DTM race-winning Mercedes 190E.
Bottas then appeared in the Adelaide Marriott Grand Marquee, appearing on stage and meeting fans.
The DTM-spec Mercedes 190E took part in the Bathurst 1000 and the Group A support race at the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide, restored and run by former driver Miedecke.
Bottas has been a fan favourite at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and is an ambassador for the event, with the 10-time Grand Prix winner returning to Adelaide the week before the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
The Finn returns to the Mercedes Formula 1 Team as third driver in 2025, the team with which he raced for five seasons and finishing as runner-up in the world championship twice.
Bottas was joined by fellow Formula 1 personalities Damon Hill, Thierry Boutsen, Guenther Steiner, David Croft and more at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival.
