2011 TURKISH GP: SUPERB DRIVE FROM VETTEL, ANOTHER POLE

New Pole Position and another superb drive from Vettel.

Sebastian Vettel took pole position for Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix with ease, setting just one lap in the final session of qualifying to save a fresh set of soft tyres for the race. Team-mate Mark Webber was his closest rival and also set just one flying lap in Q3, underlining Red Bull's dominance on the Istanbul Park circuit.

Red Bull lock out the front row, but Mercedes are closing in and as we saw last time in China you can't rule out McLaren. Ferrari too a right in the mix, but will the gap be even closer in the race as it has been so far this season?
