Drivers: 1. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 1m 18.773s; 2. Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1m 19.184s; 3. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 1m 19.987s Q: Sebastian, 100th Grand Prix for Red Bull Racing. A front row lock-out and a commanding performance from yourself in qualifying. Sebastian Vettel: Yeah, it was a very good day for us. All weekend here we felt very comfortable, from the first practice session onwards with the car. I think we were able to improve it again another bit overnight. I said on the radio to the boys 'this is your moment.' Mark and myself

Virgin's Timo Glock on setting the pace for the new teams after qualifying 19th; reigning world champion Jenson Button on failing to make it through to Q3 for McLaren; and Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel on clinching his fourth consecutive pole position. All 24 drivers, and senior team personnel, review Saturday's action at the Hungaroring…

Sebastian Vettel was in a world of his own in qualifying as he thrust his Red Bull to a fastest time of 1m 18.773s, and his second-run lap of 1m 18.832s would have been sufficient to win him the pole too as team mate Mark Webber could not improve on his first effort of 1m 19.184s. The only man to get anywhere near the Australian was Fernando Alonso with 1m 19.987s for Ferrari, then there was a big gap to Felipe Massa on 1m 20.331s in the other Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton who achieved McLaren's dream with a top five time, 1m 20.499s.

He drove almost the same lap time as Bruno (Senna)...
