This is a translation of a German article so bad grammar

(Motor-Total.com) - all looked at the Grand Prix of South Korea in Yeongam from the pole position for Sebastian Vettel - four tenths of a second was last year's winner after the first Q3 run to his nearest rival. But while Red Bull teammate Mark Webber in the second experiment increased significantly, by as much as Vettel was 0.032 seconds behind his first time.
In the first emotion he blamed Felipe Massa. "You are P2," he radioed race engineer Guillaume Roquelin immediately after the end of the ten minutes into the cockpit. "Your lap was not good enough. Mark is P1." Answer Vettel, with an irritated voice, "Why did not you warn me Massa?" The Ferrari was at the end of his lap suddenly appeared before him. Rocquelin replied, "What could I say?"
But while Vettel the incident a few minutes later again rated neutral, Helmut Marko is less calmly, "Sebastian can irritate Massa, who drove out in front of him and then has suddenly stopped the round," he describes. "For us, this has shown like this: Massa has gone out with new tires He also drove the Anwärmrunde at a pace that has been suggested that he goes on time.."
But: "All of a sudden he stopped," Marko said in an interview with the 'ORF' and is a conspiracy theory in the room ". Maybe he has also received a radio message from his team - at this stage it would be easily possible" After all, Vettel admits that he was embarrassed by the action: "In the last sector, he was in front of me I had to lift This is of course not ideal..."
"Unfortunately," said Marko, ", Sebastian has to have very unruffled. He has enjoyed both in the first and in the second sector not optimal times. Third was okay. The best sector times added together, it would have fit." But unlike his boss wants Vettel "Do not push on Felipe. I like not such discussions. We have recently had too many of them" missed the pole position, said the 25-year-old.
"We looked at the radio might be a little misunderstood," he takes matters in his own cap. "I thought Felipe goes to the box happen. Such things and it's not at all the fault of Felipe. I should have known sooner. Felipe has done nothing wrong. If anything, it was my mistake. I might be a bit time lost, but I'm not a fan of someone or something to blame for a particular outcome. "
