Red Bull took charge in the second Friday practice session for the Korean Grand Prix, as Sebastian Vettel edged out team-mate Mark Webber by just 0.032 seconds.

Vettel arrived in Korea fresh from back to back victories in Singapore and Japan, and having clawed to within four points of Fernando Alonso in the Formula 1 championship fight.

Although the Red Bulls were relatively quiet in first practice, they scrapped over the top spot for almost the entirety of practice two.

Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa briefly intruded early on, but after Webber went fastest on a 1m39.404s just before the half-hour mark, Red Bull was never headed.

Its drivers kept exchanging positions, though.

Vettel beat Webber's benchmark by 0.3s after 34 minutes, and stayed in front until they both moved onto super softs with nearly an hour gone.

Webber initially had the edge, taking first place back with a 1m38.864s.

Vettel had made mistakes and locked up on his first super-soft laps, but he then pulled everything together and set a 1m38.832s to secure Friday honours.

Alonso ended up Red Bull's closest challenger in third, ahead of Jenson Button's McLaren and Schumacher's Mercedes.

Lewis Hamilton was only eighth in the second McLaren, suffering a major lock-up into Turn 1 on one of his final outings.

In a generally quiet session, other incidents included Sergio Perez's day ending early with an acctuator glitch on his Sauber, and Bruno Senna spinning his Williams.
