F1: Results Of Korean Grand Prix Race



When the drivers 'title already decided, the only issue before the light went red to signal the start of the Korean Grand Prix, Red Bull has managed to wrest the constructors' championship as well, or if McLaren, the team shot could keep the title (though thin), still alive in the possibility of another race.

As it turned out, McLaren could not. Although Lewis Hamilton in pole position on Saturday, security and Jenson Button in third place on the grid, it took two times world champion Sebastian Vettel less than half a lap in the race before overtaking Hamilton, in the fourth corner.

From this point on, he was going for the young German who built a comfortable lead and crossed the finish line 12 seconds before all, the difference between Hamilton.

McLaren were running side by side, the second Red Bull of Mark Webber, fortunately without the two cars make contact. Further afield, Button squandered his good starting position late in the Ferrari at the beginning of the race. He managed to pass in the first round of pit stops, and came very close to Webber and Hamilton, but never fast enough to move.

Fernando Alonso has not been easy to breed like most, has not got his team-mate Felipe Massa. He did it for his final stop, and then took her round the rate of 0.5 seconds.

But Spanish is beating McLaren button is impossible, and after the race conceded defeat saying "I give up."

Remember who's boss this year, despite already got his tenth win of the season, Sebastian Vettel has posted the fastest time of the race on the last lap ...

Therefore, the Red Bull took the title of the manufacturer, also, three races before the end of the season. "It's phenomenal," was the team of Christian Horner on the comments of his team walk away with all the silver for the second consecutive year. "Great for the team, great for every member of the Red Bull Racing / Red Bull Technology Group and all who work for Red Bull."

However, for the rest of the drivers and teams championship is far from over, as they fight for the best results in the three remaining races of India on October 30.

Live Photos and Video of the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel Edition



Infiniti is relying on its partnership with Red Bull Racing and the blessings of reigning Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel to promote a sportier image for the brand

At this week's 64 International Auto Show in Frankfurt, the Japanese automaker put the spotlight on a one-off Infiniti FX50 designed in conjunction with Vettel. The special crossover features a host of aerodynamic, styling and mechanical improvements, all designed with Vettel's input.

Hardware upgrades include a more potent version of the FX50's 5.0-litre V8 delivering 420-horsepower thanks to a new exhaust system and a software reprogramming, along with a longer drive ratio for the transmission, and a 20mm lowered suspension.

The Vettel Edition rides on lightweight 21-inch black multispoke alloys with silver rims, which along with the new carbon fiber parts on the outside such as the front splitter, rear diffuser, side sills, front grille and mirror covers, help shed 46kg (101 pounds) off the standard FX50S Premium dropping the total weight to 2,049kg (4,517 lbs).

The aero kit also does its part to improve the coefficient of lift (Cl) by 30 per cent improvement and reduce the coefficient of drag (Cd) by 5 per cent.

Infiniti claims that that the FX50 Vettel version needs 5.6 seconds for the zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint, or two tenths of a second faster than the standard car, and can reach a top speed of 300km/h (187mph).

The tune is complimented by bespoke fittings in the interior including real carbon fiber trims, the use of Alcantara on the steering wheel and gearshift paddles and new sport seats.

Even though Infiniti is keeping its cards close to its chest, word has it that the Japanese company is mulling the introduction a limited series based on the one-off show car bearing the name of the F1 champ.
