2010 Korean Grand Prix - results and comments
The Korean Grand Prix was extremely interesting. The leader Mark Webber lost his 14-point lead with a crash on the wet track and his Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel failed, too. He had a major problem with the engine of the Renault.
"Totally my mistake," commented Mark Webber after his crash, which also took out Nico Rosberg.
The new championship leader is Fernando Alonso, who went 11 points ahead of Webber with two races to go.
The third in the championship is Lewis Hamilton, who has finished second in Korea. He is 21 points behind.
"It's obviously not a nice moment," commented Sebastian Vettel, the pole sitter and leader until the engine failure, as the race finished in near-darkness.
