London: Formula One teams are staying in brothels because of a lack of hotels at the Korean Grand Prix.

The 150 pounds-a-night ‘love hotel’ rooms are the only spaces available near the Yeongam track in South Korea and disgusted crew along with other members are even finding piles of used condoms under their beds.

"One of the Sauber mechanics was asked if he also wanted a girl for the week. And one of the hospitality girls is convinced her room was 'let out' for a few hours while she was away,” the Sun quoted a team member as saying.

Drivers and bosses have filled up the few top hotels in the area, which is 350 miles from capital Seoul.

Finishing touches are still being made to the 25million pounds circuit ahead of the weekend's race.

Red Bull racer Sebastian Vettel, 23, was all praise for F1’s newest track but added, "The only thing they could probably finish in the future is the hotel situation for a lot of team members."
