Qualifying – Vettel flies to Korean pole for Red Bull

We expected a fabulous fight for pole position after Saturday morning’s practice, and the inaugural Korean Grand Prix qualifying session did not disappoint as Red Bull duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber vaulted ahead of Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso at the very last moment to wrap up the front row of the grid.

Alonso had set the pace on his first run, and then a second run of 1m 35.766s seemed to have settled the issue in Ferrari’s favour. But then Vettel slammed his RB6 round in 1m 35.585s to snatch pole position away, and seconds later a third lap by Webber saw the Australian demote the Spaniard with 1m 35.659s.
