Sebastian Vettel: “Fantastic lap”

Sebastian Vettel is in pole position for the third time this season, allowing Red Bull to make an astonishing quadruplet. But the German driver reveals that he did not expect to be so well placed, due to set-up issues. “ It was difficult today, confides “Baby Schumi”. I was not happy yesterday or this morning, as Mark (Webber) was faster than me. We made some changes to the car, under Mark's direction, but it was still extremely difficult. I had to fight in the first sector but since I obtained a better time in this first sector during my last lap, it means that we have made progress. »

Discreet in Q1 and Q2, Sebastian Vettel came out of hiding in Q3, in order to be the fastest on two occasions. “ I had two good runs in Q3. I think the first would have already been a good time but I went too wide in the last corner. The second run was better, it was a fantastic lap. We obtain our fourth consecutive pole position. We are showing that we have a very good car, whatever the circuit. I'm very happy and I have to thank the mechanics who couldn't eat to make the necessary changes between free practice and qualifying. »
