He was more than a second clear of third-placed Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and his own team-mate, retirement bound Australian Mark Webber. Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion, was fifth in the second Mercedes ahead of Frenchman Romain Grosjean of Lotus, Daniel Ricciardo and his Toro Rosso team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne.<\/p>\n
Vettel said after the qualifying race that it was a surprise to get that time today. \u201cI was happy after Q3, it took a long time for us to get out as there was a lot of rain at the end of Q2. There was too much water on track, which is a shame for the people in the grandstands, but if there\u2019s too much risk of aquaplaning, it\u2019s better to wait. We then got out and I was surprised by how much the water had cleared. I went straight onto intermediates and was able to get a very good lap in straight away. I tried to beat that and got close, but it wasn\u2019t enough. I was very happy to hear I got pole, I even mixed up Spanish and Portuguese on the radio! Hopefully we get a good chance tomorrow. We only had little practice in these conditions, but we still got the car where we wanted it, so I\u2019m very happy,\u201d said vettel.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Webber said, \u201cWe are where we deserved to be I think, as I didn\u2019t feel that quick in qualifying. The car felt slow and I was struggling for grip. It was tricky for all of us, but we\u2019re on the second row and we can still do something from there. It\u2019s tricky to get it all together in those conditions, I wasn\u2019t too comfortable in Q1 and Q2 on the intermediate tyres, but that\u2019s the way it goes. There\u2019s not much more to add really than it was tricky, it\u2019s easier to be a lot further back in those conditions and we can still do something from fourth, so let\u2019s see tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
