It was Vettel’s third successive Korean win, eighth triumph of the season and 34th of his career.
Finland’s Kimi Raikkonen finished second, ahead of Lotus teammate Romain Grosjean, in a race marked by two safety car periods and the unexpected appearance of a fire marshals’ Jeep on the track.
Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, Vettel’s closest challenger, could manage only sixth place on an overcast afternoon that threatened rain without delivering.
