CHANGES TO THE CIRCUIT SINCE 2012
Its the two men at the top of the Drivers Championship standings who have had most success in that regard across the first three Korean GPs. Ferraris Fernando Alonso won the inaugural event, a rain-lashed grand prix that eventually extended to 2 hours, 48 minutes and which ended in near darkness, while current title leader Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing has been victorious in the last two editions. And its the Red Bull driver who again has the momentum this season. Vettel comes to the Yeongam region on the back of three consecutive race wins, while Alonso has played second fiddle to the German on each of those occasions. In the Constructors battle, meanwhile, Red Bull Racing, with 377 points, currently enjoy a commanding 103point leader over Ferrari, with Mercedes in third place with 267 points.
The pit exit has been re-aligned. It now runs through the middle of the run-off area at Turn 1. The kerbs at the apexes of the pit exit are double-sided, 2x500mm wide and four metres in overall length with a maximum height of 25mm. The artificial grass on the exit of Turns 1, 3, 10, 13 and 15 has been replaced by a more hard-wearing product. Sausage kerbs have been installed at the apex of Turns 4, 5, 9, 11, 13 and 14. The verge behind the kerb at the apex of Turn 8 has been laid with concrete. The entire verge between the track and the asphalt run-off area around the outside of Turn 11 has been laid with asphalt. The verge at the exit of Turn 13 has been extended with asphalt. DRS ZONES There will be two DRS zones. The detection point of the first is 70m after Turn 2, with activation 360m after Turn 2.
