Alonso wins Korea GP

YEONGAM, South Jeolla Province Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso snatched the inaugural Korean Grand Prix in the rain soaked Yeongam circuit that saw a slew of spin-outs and crashes.

It was a scrappy affair with this season’s drivers’ championship leader Mark Webber crashing out just a lap after the safety car gave clearance for the race to restart after a 40-minute delay.

The Red Bull ace spun, hit the wall and drifted into the path of German Nico Rosberg at lap 18 in drizzle.

The crash put an end to the Aussie’s charge for the the 2010 championship.

As if mirroring his teammate’s misfortune, Germany’s Sebastian Vettel spun out at lap 47, squandering the lead he had taken from Webber.
