Vettel on Front Row - Red Bull Qualifying Team Views
By Ian Lockwood
May 9 2009
Red Bull Racing showed today that they are still very much a force to be reckoned with at the start of the European season. Sebastian Vettel put his RB5 on the front row for tomorrows Spanish Grand Prix. Team mate Mark Webber starts from 5th, feeling he should have gone faster.

Car 15, SEBASTIAN VETTEL, Position 2nd

"I felt very comfortable in the car today. The lap
time in Q3 was good, unfortunately not good
enough to beat Jenson - last minute he took the
pole position away! But second on the grid, on the
front row is great, especially as we were struggling
a little bit with the car yesterday. The conditions are
different to when we were testing here during the
winter, but we fixed it and made a good recovery
today. We also made an adjustment following this
morning's practice, before qualifying, which
seemed to work - so I'm very happy. We only
needed one run on the hard tyre in Q1 and one run
on the soft tyre in Q2. It was a great job and
compliments to the whole crew for their hard work.
Some parts arrived quite late, which has meant
some long nights for the boys, but they will have
some rest later today."

Car 14, MARK WEBBER, Position 5th

"That was a bit disappointing. I would like to have
done a slightly better job in Q3 and I could have done
it. Q2 was good, but that's not the most important
session. We're fifth, so let's see what we can do from
there tomorrow. Thanks to the guys at Red Bull,
they've done another good job this weekend."

CHRISTIAN HORNER, Team Principal:

"A very exciting qualifying session - ultimately it
was really tight between Jenson (Button) and
Sebastian. We believe we have a good strategy
for tomorrow so we wait with interest for the fuel
levels, but the performance in Q1 and Q2 was
extremely impressive. Mark's performance in
particular in Q2 was very strong, which is also
encouraging for tomorrow."

FABRICE LOM, Renault, Principal Engineer
Track Support:

"It's a good result today and the car was very
quick in Q1 and Q2. Now, we need to wait to get
the weights of the cars to see if we are very
happy or just happy! Tomorrow's race will be
tough I think. There was a question mark over
where the car would be with all the updates that
we bought here, but we are still at the front so we
can be positive for the rest of the season."
