Turkish Grand Prix Qualifying

Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel once again dominated qualifying, scoring his 4th pole of the season, and 5th straight overall. Teammate Mark Webber had his best run of the season to date; he will start 2nd.

Starting 3rd will be Mercedes GP's Nico Rosberg, who continues to outshine his much more experienced teammate Michael Schumacher. Schumacher will line up in 8th. 4th is the fastest of the two McLaren cars, driven by Lewis Hamilton. Teammate Jenson Button is 6th. Mixed results hit the two Ferraris; Fernando Alonso was 5th while Felipe Massa did not attempt a run in session 3, and therefore will start 10th. The remaining top 10 were the two Renaults of Vitaly Petrov (7th) and Nick Heidfeld in 9th.
