Mark Webber for a first

If Mark Webber won pole during the qualifying session on the Nürburgring circuit, the Australian can doubly celebrate this good result. After 131 Grands Prix contested (zero victories), the native of QueanBeyan won his first pole position and will therefore start, for the first time, in the lead on the starting grid. The Australian will therefore be very focused on this start not to be missed, in order to put himself in the best conditions to be in a position to win his first Grand Prix.

Mark Webber also confirms the importance of this good result. “ This is a very special day for me. I have been close to this pole a number of times. I was even in front according to the fuel loads but that didn't count. » The Australian, aware of his performance, reports his good time on the qualities of his car. " The car runs very well here. But it was very difficult because, although the track seemed dry, the slick tires were not satisfactory (in Q2). It was very chaotic but achieving the best time at the best time was very important for me, so this pole is fantastic »

This result is also very good for the morale of Mark Webber, who dominates for the second time (only) this season Sebastian Vettel during a qualifying session. During the last six Grands Prix, the German had placed himself in front of the Australian on the starting grid each time. However, Webber knows how to be very consistent since, in eight GPs in 2009, the Australian beat his young teammate five times in the race. He has the opportunity to do it a sixth time.
