Published 13 October 2012 by Christine

It was still a battle between Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton as the final hour of practice in Korea came to its conclusion. The Red Bull driver took the top spot by half a second, with teammate Mark Webber down in 11th. Webber was struggling with an engine problem that curtailed his running, but the team were confident it wasn't serious. Meanwhile, Bruno Senna had a problem with the front wing, but that also seemed to have an easy fix.
