Bruno Senna did not manage to qualify for Q3 today in Korea and the Brazilian ended up quite far back; he will start tomorrow from the 15th position on the grid. He hoped to do better for his birthday, but he knows he has a good car - as evidenced by Vitaly Petrov's strong 8th place on the grid. The Russian driver hopes to maintain his position tomorrow or even do better to score significant points against the two Force India drivers who are right behind him.

Lewis Hamilton achieved his first pole position today since the Canadian Grand Prix in 2010, confirming the good performance of his car glimpsed during practice and ending Red Bull's dominance in the fast lap exercise.

Felipe Massa will start tomorrow from 5th place just ahead of Fernando Alonso, who is 6th and on the wrong side of the track. Both men are not completely satisfied with their performances even though they know it would have been difficult to do better today given the potential of the F150 compared to the McLaren or the Red Bull. But they hope to be able to climb up tomorrow during the race thanks to strategy and, hopefully, finish on the podium.

Daniel Ricciardo couldn't drive much today due to a problem with his engine, so he wasn't able to fully understand the track and its subtleties. On Vitantonio Liuzzi's side, things went a bit better, but the Italian driver complains of premature tire wear and expects a difficult race with many pit stops. The HRT team, which hoped to get closer to Virgin, in particular, will likely have more difficulty tomorrow in the race due to not being able to test everything they hoped for.

It was a more than disappointing qualifying session for the Williams team today in South Korea, but the British team had decided to preserve as many new tires as possible to have an aggressive strategy in the race. It remains to be seen if this will pay off tomorrow in the race, as both drivers will start from very far back - Maldonado is 16th and Barrichello 18th.

The management of the tires will be the key to the Grand Prix. At least that's the opinion of the Red Bull team, which gambled on a different strategy in qualifying, allowing them to keep more new soft tires for tomorrow's race. Vettel is not too disappointed about not having secured pole position because anything can happen in the race tomorrow. The same sentiment comes from Mark Webber, who expects an exciting race even if he would have preferred to start from the clean side of the track.
