Mark Webber - P3“I didn’t have a very good run on my first lap in Q3 and thought I’d messed up the session, as I was told it was going to rain again. It was difficult to get the lap in at the end with the conditions as they were, but I knew I had to do it. It was crucial to get both of the chicanes right and I really had to focus on the Ascari Chicane because it was like running on rail tracks. I drilled that though and it helped me to get my lap time. It should be a pretty interesting race tomorrow if the conditions are like this again! Toro Rosso have been fast in the last couple of races and they did very well today.”

David Coulthard - P13“Q2 was quickest at the beginning of the session, as it rained progressively. We went out just after the beginning of the session, but had to back off for a bit of traffic. We therefore didn’t manage to get a time at the start of the session and you weren’t going to get a faster time at the end. As you saw with Hamilton and Raikkonen, it wasn’t getting any quicker out there with the worsening conditions.   Congratulations to Sebastian on his pole position, it was a great performance from him.”

Christian Horner, Team Principal“A very exciting three qualifying sessions with the varying amounts of rain. Both drivers progressed comfortably into Q2 and Mark made it into Q3, with David ending up in an unlucky 13th position. It was a great drive from Mark to qualify third. It’s been a great day for Red Bull and congratulations to Sebastian Vettel on his first pole position. Three Red Bull chassis in the first four is a fantastic result.”

Fabrice Lom, Renault“For Red Bull Renault, it was a good qualifying result today. Mark is third on a track that we hope will be good for us tomorrow. It will be a bit more difficult for David in 13th, but the conditions were changing during Q2 and he had some bad luck as the rain was stronger for him when he went out. It was the same for Raikkonen and Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel is on pole position, so well done to him and Toro Rosso.”
