Sebastian Vettel continued his unstoppable charge to the
2013 F1 title by taking pole position with a new lap record at India’s Buddh
International Circuit.
Vettel holds a 90-point lead with just 100 points still
available, meaning only a disaster can deprive him of the title on Sunday.
But the young German proved he won’t be coasting to a four
successive crown by pushing to the limit in qualifying.
The Red Bull star was 0.752s clear of next best Nico Rosberg
(Mercedes) with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, the only driver that can still
mathematically defeat Vettel, down in eighth place after opting for the medium
compound tyre.
Vettel, who has won the last five races in a row, said: “So
far it's been a brilliant weekend. The car was very good from the moment we hit
the track yesterday and we haven't had to change a lot.
“In qualifying, things got better as the circuit ramped up
and the car was amazing. This is a great circuit and it's not a secret that if
the car behaves in the middle part of the lap, you'll enjoy it.
“I'm trying not to think about the championship but it is
hard when every other person asks the same question. Tomorrow is a long race
but we have a quick package and should be in good shape.”
