This weekend sees Formula One quit off in South Korea for the very first time ever. On the internet sportsbook have the lines up, plus several very good matchup betting choices.

Who will emerge victorious at the inaugural Grand Prix at the Yeongam circuit? It is expected that the top five drivers will be battling for the victory once more, but will it be Webber, Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton or Button that gets their name in the history book?

All five will be desperate for points as the title challenge heats up with just two far more races to come right after this event. Hamilton and Button are especially desperate for points as they are now far more than a race win – 25 points – behind the championship leader, Webber. They finished fifth and fourth respectively in Japan two weeks ago, and they need to do much better. Can they do so this weekend?

The track has been described as comparable to Suzuka in many aspects and this is an ominous warning for the McLaren drivers as nicely as Alonso. Alonso, in his Ferrari, was the finest of the rest at Suzuka, but he only finished within three seconds of the Red Bull drivers as they had the capability to go much quicker if they required to. Again, the signs point towards the Red Bull drivers claiming a 1-2 finish for the Austrian outfit, but is there anything that will cost them victory?

As this track is a brand new track it will be quite green with a lack of grip in the course of Friday practice and possibly throughout Saturday’s qualifying too. If this ought to occur, or if somebody crashes big on Friday, then their entire weekend could crumble and they find themselves stuck in the midfield come Sunday afternoon – see Lewis Hamilton in Japan for an example. Nonetheless, with the title on the line now I can not see the Red Bull drivers throwing anything away like they have carried out throughout the season or allowing personal feelings about each other getting in the way of their title winning ambitions.

It will be a close between Vettel and Webber, with team orders likely to come into play soon after the initial corner, so whoever gets their initial out of the two of them will stay there barring any issues. With Vettel the faster of the two drivers over 1 lap I see it being the German who takes his second successive race win in South Korea. Back him to do so. Odds at sportsbook are at present around 1.90.

•    Sebastian Vettel – 1.90
•    Fernando Alonso – 2.30
•    Mark Webber – 2.50
•    Lewis Hamilton – three.30
•    Jenson Button – 7.00
