Fernando is en garde

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has taken inspiration from the wisdom of a samurai swordsman as he prepares for a Formula One duel with Sebastian Vettel at the Korean Grand Prix.

The Spaniard knows he will lose the championship lead for the first time since seizing it in Valencia in June if his Red Bull rival chalks up a third win in a row with home only four points clear with five races left.

Quoting the words of 17th century Japanese Miyamoto Musashi, he wrote on Twitter: "Five great races coming! If the enemy thinks in the mountains, attack by sea. If they think in the sea, attack by the mountains."
