Vettel sets the pace in Friday practice

Sebastian Vettel led a RedBull one - two in Friday Practice ahead of Sunday's Korean GrandPrix. Championship leader Fernando Alonso was third behind Mark Webber with Jenson Button in fourth. It was a frustrating session for Lewis Hamilton who after leading FP1 was down in 8th place in second Practice.

The top six in FP2 were separated by just over half a second. RedBull believe that they have a car that will give them pole position tomorrow, however I don't that this will happen because despite the fact that they led FP2 today the times on Friday are nor representative as the team's use Friday to set up their cars for Saturday and Sunday.

Meanwhile over at Lotus, they are running their new Coanada exhaust for the first time this weekend finished the session with Kimi Raikkonen 10th and Romain Grosjean in 11th. Star of last weekend's race in Japan Kamui Kobayahsi was in 14th just behind the Force India of Paul Di Resta.

Over at Mercedes, fresh from his first retirement of the year last weekend, Nico Rosberg finished today's session in 7th place, while his team mate Michael Schumacher was 5th just ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa who scored his first podium finish in two years when he finished in 2nd place behind Sebatian Vettel.

It is going to extremely interesting to see what happens this weekend. I will as always be keeping you up to date with all the information over the weekend.
