    Ferrari's Fernando Alonso won the rain-splashed Korean Grand Prix on Sunday to take the Formula One championship lead, while both rival Red Bull drivers failed to finish.

    Red Bull's Mark Webber led the standings entering the race, but spun out soon after racing belatedly began, while teammate Sebastian Vettel led from pole position until his engine failed 10 laps from the finish.

    The incident-strewn race began behind a safety car and was red-flagged after only two laps because of persistent rain and standing water on the track. After resuming, the safety car remained out until lap 18 while water was cleared. The race went the distance but finished in darkness at 6 p.m.
