YEONGAM, South Korea — Pop sensation Psy brought ‘Gangnam Style' to the South Korean Grand Prix on Sunday by first showing Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel how to dance to the catchy hit and then waving the checkered flag as he won the race.The chubby South Korean rapper's tune, and his quirky horse-riding dance, has stormed to number one in charts around the world while the video has been watched more than 454 million times on YouTube since July. Police were seen doing the trademark dance in largely deserted stands before first practice in Friday while teams and television commentators also got in on the act. Vettel and teammate Mark Webber were filmed learning the dance from the 34-year-old in the paddock before the race while Germany's Nico Rosberg met him on Wednesday when Psy performed at a Mercedes function. Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus team swiftly adopted the Twitter hashtag #Yeongamstyle for the race at the Yeongam circuit near Mokpo, a shipbuilding city some 400km south of Seoul. — Reuters
