Korean GP Preview
Sebastian Vettel is only 4 points behind Fernando Alonso and odds-on for the title. Can Ferrari fight back in Korea?
Fernando Alonso’s luck has run out at the wrong time. Two DNFs in four races has seen his lead in the drivers’ championship reduce to four points. He is 15/8 (Paddy Power) to win the title, with Sebastian Vettel a best price 4/7 (Ladbrokes).
Value of pole position
There are only two years worth of data to go on, but the pole-sitter is yet to win the Korean GP.

Driver to watch
Lewis Hamilton has finished second twice and will need to go one better to keep his faint title hopes alive.

Retirement Rate – Above Average
In the last two years 75% of drivers have been classified in the Korean GP. This is skewed by the wet race in 2010, when only 15 of the 24 runners finished.
