Sebastian Vettel moved another step closer to the Formula One drivers Championship after winning the Korean Grand Prix this morning with ease.

 

The Red Bull driver dominated from start to finish as he extended his lead to 77 points over Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. Vettel can secure the title as early as next week, should he win the Japan Grand Prix and if Alonso fails to finish in the top eight.

Lewis Hamilton spoke before today's race saying that he will attack any opportunity. But the former World Champion could only finish in fifth place.

Kimi Raikkonen finished in second place, with Romain Grosjean joining them on the podium.

Vettel's Red Bull team mate Mark Webber spun out mid way through the race and was forced to retire as the back of his car caught fire.

Fernando Alonso admitted after the race that something very strange would have to happen for Vettel not to win the title now.
