For Red Bull, the biggest unknown will come from the tires for the rest of the weekend. The weather forecast predicts it should be dry tomorrow and Sunday, and the teams have not been able to run with the Pirelli slick tires. Tomorrow morning's final practice session will therefore be crucial for preparing for qualifying and the race, especially since Pirelli has brought the softest tires in its range to this demanding circuit from a tire perspective.

Like many drivers, Pérez and Kobayashi didn't run much this morning due to the heavy rains that were falling on the Yeongam circuit in South Korea. The two Sauber drivers made up for it in the afternoon, but the Swiss team's car doesn't work well with the intermediate tires provided by Pirelli. They are hoping for drier weather for the rest of the weekend.

It's unclear what to expect at Mercedes GP after the qualifying session for the Japanese Grand Prix. Michael Schumacher is pleased with his position on the grid and hopes for a good race on this track he enjoys. On the other side of the garage, Nico Rosberg didn't have the opportunity to defend his chances as he was forced to return to the pits after his installation lap in Q1 due to hydraulic issues. The young German driver will start 23rd tomorrow, but that doesn't stop him from having a sense of humor.
