Having been second best to Mercedes on Friday, Red Bull underlined their status as favourites by heading the final practice session in Korea on Saturday morning.

Sebastian_Vettel-Korean_GP-Q01Championship-leader Sebastian Vettel edged team mate Mark Webber by just 0.137s to top the timesheets, with the Mercedes pairing of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton third and fourth fastest respectively.

In a relatively quiet session in which the leading runners switched late to Pirelli’s supersoft rubber, first Webber then Vettel deposed Hamilton who had set the fastest time of 1m 38.860s on the medium tyres. Webber did 1m 38.132s then 1m 38.018s, but Vettel settled the issue in his own favour with a lap of 1m 37.881s. The German had one slightly dusty moment when he had to go wide to go around a slower car, but otherwise it was smooth sailing for the world champion.
