Vettel Qualifies Korean Grand Prix

Sebastian Vettel led a Red Bull lockout of the front row after qualifying for the inaugural Korean Grand Prix at the new Yeongam circuit on Saturday.
The 23- year- old German recorded his ninth pole of the 2010 season with a lap of 1 minute 35.585 seconds, edging teammate and world championship leader Mark Webber of Australia by 0.074secs in a thrilling hour- long session.
Vettel’s pole is the 14th of his career, and the front- row one- two is Red Bull’s eighth of the season.
The German said it has taken some time to become accustomed to the 5.621- kilometre circuit this weekend.

Formula One India 2011 Opening Ceremony to be bigger than that of Commonwealth Games 2010

There’s nothing much that gets Bernie Ecclestone worried. However, it seems the negative publicity of the Commonwealth Games before they began did make the Formula One boss anxious. As soon as the Games got over, Ecclestone came rushing to Delhi to have a close look at the preparations for the Indian Grand Prix, the F1 race scheduled to be held here next year.
In the Capital for less than 24 hours, Mr E managed a full inspection of the 5.14 km-long track and even indulged the media in a little tete-a-tete. If he came fearing the worst, the F1 honcho went away a happy man.
“I couldn’t be happier about what I saw today. If the race was next month even then I would say the track is in great shape,” Ecclestone said.
“A lot of people were worried about how things were here after reading about the Commonwealth Games. I thought that the opening ceremony was better than the Olympics and the World Cup,” he added.
Jaiprakash Gaur, head of the Jaypee group which is building the track, was also at hand to promise an even better event next year in October. “October 30 will be an even grander affair,” Gaur said.
The Indian Grand Prix will be the 18th race next year.

India 'will host 2011 Grand Prix'

India will definitely host a Grand Prix in Delhi in 2011, Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has told the BBC Asian Network.

Ecclestone insists he and Indian company Jaiprakash Associates Ltd are "fully committed" to the project.

"Of course we will deliver... otherwise we wouldn't have entered into an agreement," said Ecclestone.

Work on a new circuit on the outskirts of Delhi was meant to begin in October 2008 but was postponed.

 Ecclestone said that this was because he has issues with the global calendar of sporting events and "certain contracts elsewhere to fulfil".

BBC Sport understands that work on India's track will now begin this summer, with completion expected at the end of 2010.

Top Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan cast doubt over the project last month, saying he didn't believe "anyone would want to invest in motorsport" during the current global economic crisis.

But Karthikeyan, who raced for Jordan and tested for Williams in F1, knows how popular the sport could be in his country.

 "It will be very big for the whole of Asia because everyone will benefit," he said..
