Red Bull driver Vettel wins Korean GP

RED Bull's Sebastian Vettel of Germany won the South Korean Grand Prix in Yeongam today to leapfrog Ferrari's Fernando Alonso at the top of the world championship driver standings by six points with four races remaining.

Vettel started second on the grid behind Mark Webber but overtook his teammate on the first turn and never relinquished the lead, finishing 8.2 seconds ahead of Webber. Alonso was third 13.9 seconds off the pace. It was the first one-two of the season for the Red Bulls.

Vettel, who also won the previous races in Singapore and Japan, is moving within sight of a third straight title - something only previously achieved by Juan-Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa was fourth followed by Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg. McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton finished a disappointing 10th.
