Red Bull Racing began the inaugural Korean Grand Prix in an emphatic manner, with Mark Webber topping the timesheets in Practice 2 on Friday.

In qualifying, Red Bull increased their odds of a race win with Sebastian Vettel leading his teammate in a one-two for the fourth time this season. The who’s who of Formula One, including Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso pronounced Red Bull as favorites to win the race on Sunday, but for some unfortunate, unforeseen circumstances. 

Unfortunate circumstances they were as the two Red Bulls went into self-destruct mode in treacherous, wet conditions on race day. Mark Webber was running in second place behind Vettel when he lost control and spun out of the track, colliding with a wall and Nico Rosberg in the process.

Sebastian Vettel joined his teammate in the pits soon when his Renault powered engine failed, allowing Fernando Alonso to take the lead and eventually go on to win the race. Ironic as it was, with the hullabaloo surrounding Alonso’s engine!

Unfortunate, agreed. But, were they unforeseen?

Red Bull Racing, formed in 2005 after replacing Jaguar, won their first race in China last year and are thus, new to being contenders for the world championship. The territory is unfamiliar, with Webber and Vettel also yet to win Formula One titles.

Red Bull have led the way since April this year, but momentum is a critical factor in any sport, and currently, it is Ferrari who have timed their sprint to the finish line perfectly with Fernando Alonso winning four of the last seven races.

Questions have been asked as to whether Red Bull and its drivers are experienced enough to contend for the crown(s). Despite having the fastest car this season, they have showed a lot of inconsistency. The Renault powered RB6 has proved to be unpredictable, the latest showing being Vettel’s retirement in Korea.
