Qualifying results - Korea 2013 - Sauber score high as Kimi struggles, and Vettel takes pole

Published 5 October 2013 by Christine

The Williams pair became the early casualties, dropping out in the first session. In the second, the McLaren duo just missed out on getting into the top ten, whilst Sauber got both their cars into Q3 for the first time since about this time last year. In the top ten, Kimi Räikkönen couldn't rise up any further, the Ferrari pair settled somewhere in the middle, whilst the front row features a Red Bull and a Mercedes, as per usual.
