Korean GP star Nico Hulkenberg doubts his career-best result in Yeongam will have any significant bearing on where he ends up driving in 2014.

And although he briefly lost fourth place for Hamilton in the closing stages into the first corner, Hulkenberg explained why he had not been unduly troubled by the sight of the Mercedes passing him. "That's why I didn't even close the door," he said. "If you go there you have marbles on the tyres and I knew I only had to get a good exit out of turn one, my top speed was so good anyway and I had DRS so I knew it would be quite an easy task to pass him again on the straight."
