RACE
Michael Schumacher came home in fourth place today at the end of a thrilling inaugural Korean Grand Prix in Yeongam. The dramatic race started under the safety car due to the wet conditions and was red-flagged for 50 minutes on lap three before restarting, again under the safety car, and finishing just on the two-hour limit. Nico Rosberg was in an excellent position in fourth place, having just overtaken Lewis Hamilton, when he was hit by the spinning car of Mark Webber and forced into retirement on lap 19. Team Report
