Sebastian Vettel claims pole at Round 17! One more track adds to the F1 calender, the Yeongam Circuit, Korea. Still under construction, the partly street circuit, is truly a drivers' delight. The track is the longest straight of 1.2 out of an overall length 5.615kms. It has an interesting set of technical corners which are the icing on the cake. They sure will be a delight for bikers too. I know its a blog solely dedicated to F1, I couldn't resist the temptation of this mention being a corner carver! The track has some issues like dust due to the construction sites near the track. Wind problems are witnessed to due to the sea nearby. The crowd support is good too with an estimated 60000 today and 100000 tomorrow!

At the end of the third qualifying which was a real cracker by the end of the 1st minute of the 10 minutes, Sebastian Vettel claims pole at 1:35:585 with his teammate Mark Webber at 1:35:659 followed by the Spaniard Fernando Alonso takes third position at 1:35:766.
The race will be a great entertainer given the line up with Red Bull 1,2 and rains are predicted too. Race telecast starts at 11:20 am IST
