2012 INDIA GP: RED BULL ON FIRST STARTING ROW

Vettel is the fastest driver !!!
Sebastian Vettel took pole position for the Indian Grand Prix. German needed only one attempt to secure pole, with team-mate Mark Webber ending the session less than 0.05s behind his team-mate. Lewis Hamilton starts third having got within a quarter of a second of Vettel as McLaren secured the second row with Jenson Button in fourth. It's an all-Ferrari third row with Fernando Alonso ahead of Felipe Massa, with both drivers half a second slower than Vettel's best time. Massa had only just made it through to Q3 but managed to beat Kimi Raikkonen and Sergio Perez, with Pastor Maldonado qualifying ninth as Nico Rosberg opted not to set a time.
