2012 Korean Grand Prix Thread - Red Bull Looks to continue its good fortune

Red Bull has locked out the front row as Mark Webber claims the pole position for the Korean Grand Prix, with teammate Vettle qualifying in second at the Korean International Circuit. Even though Webber had missed the last part of the final practice with a technical problem, he was able to put down a fantastic last lap, snatching the pole position from Sebastian Vettel who is coming off two Grand Prix wins in a row. It looks like the Red Bull team is on track for the hat-rick.

• 1 Mark Webber Red Bull-Renault 1’37.242
• 2 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull-Renault 1’37.316

Webberahaha!!!

 

And maybe a few mistakes too!

 

i have to disagree, what sky coverage said was pretty spot on, the track is pretty blend with alot of corners look alot alike.

 

We'll find out soon enough!

 

Haha those crazy Koreans

 

VETTEL takes it. This is getting interesting!

 

ugh tried staying up watching the thing, but the sleepiness took over on lap 30ish. but yeah Vettel took the lead rather quickly in the beginning, and we all know what happens when that guy takes 1st position in a race...

 

Some great racing in Korea, the last four races are sure to be thrillers! Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
