Many F1 champions have retired and made comebacks into the sport, including Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen.
Sebastian Vettel who retired from the sport in 2021, has made headlines recently following a hypercar test for Porsche Penske, and rumours he may join Mercedes in 2025.
South Korea hopes to host F1 race
Not only do individuals make surprise returns to F1, but so do motorsport circuits and their former host countries.
F1 has enjoyed an influx of new destinations and circuits, including Miami and Las Vegas, prompted by a growth in a US audience.
It has also been reported that a fourth American circuit could find its way onto the F1 calendar in the guise of a Chicago GP.
In addition to this, South Korea may also wish to return to F1.
The South Korean GP was held from 2010-2013 at the Korea International Circuit in Yeongam, however the Grand Prix was cancelled due to financial problems.
