Lewis Hamilton took aim at champion Sebastian Vettel’s run of five consecutive pole positions after topping practice for the Korean Grand Prix.
In cold, wet conditions, Hamilton shrugged off a poor run of form with a best time of one minute and 50.828 seconds to outpace McLaren teammate Jenson Button by 0.104 seconds.
Vettel, 24, was third-fastest for Red Bull, ahead of Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso in fourth. Hamilton finished fifth last week in Suzuka, underlining a difficult few months in which he has been winless since July. Michael Schumacher, who had topped the times for Mercedes in the opening morning session, wound up 14th in the afternoon.
