Published 13 October 2012 by Christine

All bets were on Sebastian Vettel taking P1 for the Korean GP, but it was Mark Webber who had his eyes on the prize as qualifying came to an end. Behind them, Lewis Hamilton on the second row of the grid as Jenson Button failed to get through to the top ten shootout. Bruno Senna was the early casualty in Q3, as Narain Karthikeyan couldn't set a time as his brakes gave out and sent him flying off track.
