Renault driver Robert Kubica put the Formula One title contenders in the shade earlier today with the fastest lap in the final South Korean Grand Prix practice session.

The Polish driver, whose only race victory was in Canada with BMW-Sauber in 2008, lapped the hastily-completed and slippery new Yeongam track with a best time of one minute 37.354 seconds.

The track passed a safety inspection earlier this month.

McLaren’s 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton was second quickest, 0.048 slower, with Ferrari’s double champion Fernando Alonso third and Red Bull’s overall leader Mark Webber in fourth place.

Qualifying will take place later today.
