YEONGAM, South Korea (Reuters) - Pirelli hit back at Ferrari's Fernando Alonso on Saturday for criticising their Formula One tyres after Korean Grand Prix qualifying.

The Spaniard, who is second in the championship but 60 points behind Red Bull's triple champion Sebastian Vettel, qualified only fifth for Sunday's grand prix while his German rival will line up on pole position for the third race in a row.
