With less than a handful of races left in the season the 'new' Korean grand prix is going to be a crucial one. Red Bull could become constructors champions tomorrow with the right result and if Webber wins then it looks all but over for the McLaren duo to win the drivers' championship. Q1 saw the usual six go out: 24. Senna (Hispania), 23. Yamamoto (Hispania), 22. Di Grassi (Virgin), 21. Glock (Virgin), 20. Kovalainen (Lotus), 19. Trulli (Lotus). The unfortunate one to also go out at this stage was Force India's Liuzzi. The fastest in Q1 was McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
Q2 again saw the usual contenders fight out for positions with two hopefuls looking to progress into Q3 with the big three and Mercedes. This time it would be Barrichello ahead of Hulkenburg for Williams and Kubica for Renault. The rest finished like this: 17. Buemi (Toro Rosso), 16. Alguersuari (Toro Rosso), 15. Petrov (Renault), 14. Sutil (Force India), 13. Heidfeld (Sauber), 12. Kobayashi (Sauber), 11. Hulkenberg (Williams). The fastest in Q2 was Red Bull's Mark Webber.
Q3 saw the five contenders for the Drivers' Championship all have glimpses of Pole position and it went to the final seconds before the final ten was finally sorted out: 10. Barrichello (Williams), 9. Schumacher (Mercedes), 8. Kubica (Renualt), 7. Button (McLaren), 6. Massa (Ferrari), 5. Rosberg (Mercedes), 4. Hamilton (McLaren), 3. Alonso (Ferrari), 2. Webber (Red Bull), 1. Vettel (Red Bull). So with both Red Bulls on the first row they have a great chance to seal the Constructors Championship and also take the McLaren's almost out of the running for the Drivers' Championship making it just three contenders left.
