World champion Sebastian Vettel could be in line for a title hat-trick after his win on the Korea International Circuit in Yeongam, South Korea, on Sunday.

He won ahead of Australian Red Bull teammate Mark Webber, who started in pole position, and Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.

With this, his 25th career victory, the 25-year-old Vettel overtakes Alonso to go to the top of the standings with four races left in the season.

It is Vettel's third win in a row and fourth of the season, and leaves him on 215 points, with Alonso on 209.
