The 2010 Korean Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 24 October 2010 at the Korea International Circuit in Yeongam, South Jeolla. It was the 17th round of the 2010 Formula One World Championship. Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso won the race starting from third position. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton finished second and Alonso's teammate Felipe Massa was third.

The race began behind the safety car but was stopped after three laps because of a large amount of standing water on the circuit. After a 45-minute delay, the race was restarted and the safety car was withdrawn after 13 laps. Pole sitter Sebastian Vettel maintained his lead going into the first corner. A second safety car deployment caused by the collision of Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg on lap 19 closed up the field but Vettel retained the lead. Alonso maintained second position until a botched pit stop during a third safety-car period caused him to drop to third. At the restart on lap 35, Hamilton ran wide at the first corner, allowing Alonso back into second place. Vettel's engine failed 11 laps later, promoting Alonso to the lead, which he maintained to win the race.
