Mark Webber on his way

Mark Webber, while Felipe Massa (Ferrari) and Robert Kubica (Renault) had set the best time in Q1 and Q2, stood out at the right time by stringing together incredibly fast laps in Q3. The pilot Red Bull achieves his third pole of the season, the second in a row, and can now aim for victory in the streets of the Principality.

« It?s sensational to be on pole in Monaco, rejoices Mark Webber. It's a cruel place when it comes to punishments for mistakes. Today, it's like I've found another gear in terms of confidence in the car. The last thing I wanted was to end up in the third or fourth row. »

Although he achieved several very good laps in Q3, the Australian explains why he has continued to improve his reference time. “ I didn't know if my previous lap was enough to get pole. In my next attempt, I had to give it my all. I focused on being clean in the corners and maintaining grip. It's a circuit where you have to be very precise and efficient and I'm very happy to finish in this position. I have to congratulate my rivals because we had a great fight. »

Although he achieved a great performance, the Red Bull driver also knows that he owes his result to the performance of the RB6. “ I know all the teams are working hard, but our guys worked very early on the car this morning, so I dedicate this pole to them. I hope we can translate it into a good result tomorrow. »
