    Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel won the Korean Grand Prix on Sunday and the team clinched the Formula One constructors' championship.

    Vettel, who started from second on the grid, passed pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton on the first lap and dominated the 55-lap race before crossing the finish line with a time of 1 hour, 38 minutes, 01.994 seconds, 12 seconds ahead of the McLaren driver.

    "It was a great day for the team, securing the constructors' championship," Vettel said. "We have so many people on the track and in the factory working every day of the week and every week of the year trying to build two competitive race cars."

    Red Bull's Mark Webber was third -- securing back-to-back constructors' titles for the team -- followed by McLaren's Jenson Button and Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, with second through fifth tightly bunched as they crossed the line.
