Vettel wins the Korean Grand prix for the third time.
Lotus scores an excellent result with Raikkonen second and Grosjean third while Hulkenberg matches his career-best result with a superb fourth for Sauber, fending off Hamilton and Alonso to the last.
Rosberg takes seventh, from Button, Massa and Perez after having a front wing change.
This result means that Vettel could in theory wrap up the World title in Japan in a week’s time, but Alonso will be out there to stop him.
