Qualifying Turkish GP: No stopping Vettel

Sebastian Vettel's advantage over his rivals in qualifying continued in Turkey as the German claimed his fourth pole position of the campaign

Despite losing valuable track-time on Friday afternoon after crashing his RB7 earlier in the day, the Red Bull driver proved to have measure over his rivals in qualifying.

Vettel clocked a 1:25.049 to beat team-mate Mark Webber to the coveted grid slot at the Istanbul Park circuit.

Nico Rosberg continued Mercedes GP's good run by taking third place while his team-mate Michael Schumacher finally made it into the top ten shoot-out, qualifying in eighth place.

Lewis Hamilton will start the grand prix from fourth place on the grid with his team-mate Jenson Button P6. The two McLarens were split by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
