Lewis Hamilton couldn’t keep hold of his pole position in Korea today, with Sebastian Vettel easing into the lead and taking a relatively dominant victory. There were great battles to be had throughout, with Button against Rosberg, Hamilton against Webber and Button (again) against Alonso. Jaime Alguersuari picked up a good handful of points, whilst Adrian Sutil dropped out of the top ten. There were just three retirements in the shape of Pastor Maldonado who had an engine problem, and Petrov and Schumacher who collided.
