Published by Christine
Sebastian Vettel's dominant victory around the Korean International Circuit allowed him to move into the lead of the championship, but Alonso finished on the podium and seems determined not to let the Red Bull driver get too far away from him. The only other movement this week came from Nico Hülkenberg, who moves forward two places.
