Webber Hot Streak Continues in Turkey
Mark Webber has continued his recent run of red hot form. This time he has collected his third consecutive pole position.
Racing around the Turkish Grand Prix track, Webber was able to set the fastest time of 1:26.295 to edge out Lewis Hamilton who had a time of 1:26.433. Next came Webber’s team mate Sebastian Vettel with a time of 1:26.760.
Jenson Button who had been the fastest driver in practice on Friday could only manage fourth spot with 1:26.781. Michael Schumacher edged out his Mercedes team mate to claim fifth spot. He had a time of 1:26.857 while Rosberg lapped in 1:26.952.
Robert Kubica, Felipe Massa, Vitaly Petrov and Kamui Kobayashi rounded out the top ten.
The surprise of qualifying was seeing Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso fail to make the top ten. He could only manage 12th spot with Adrian Sutil one up on him in 11th.
Webber has again shown his red hot pace and now has the chance to once again go from pole and collect a win.
He currently leads the Formula One drivers championship in a tie with Sebastian Vettel. They both are on 78 points.
From the past six races Webber has taken four pole positions and has been second on two occasions. He has won the past two races, crossing the line first in the Spanish Grand Prix and at Monaco.
Another win could see him bolt off into the distance although it is a bit early to be crowning him World Champion for 2010.
It should be an exciting race tomorrow.
