Behind the Blue

You may disappoint on current Korean support for Grand Prix especially if you are Korean; even LG and some local people support for F1 but F1 is not well known in Korea and no Korean automobile maker support in any way.

However, you may be impressed if you know that some Korean people supported Grand Prix deeply far away back in head of 2000s. Alonso's Renault car from 2003 with some blue colour is very famous for its championship winning. The front of the helmet of Alonso has mark of 'hanjin' which is one of the biggest shipbuilding company in the world which is Korean. Hanjin continuously supported Renault during Alonso's shining seasons, making best efficience of ads. Also the painting of the car itself is designed by a Korean cartoonist, who later draw the episode which fans never believed until they saw the photo.

So Korea was in the front of the good seasons of F1 and the appearance of winning car, when most people of Korea is never ever interested in F1.
