Sebastian Vettel made it four out of four by taking pole position for the Turkish Grand Prix

The German had done enough – and he knew it – with the one supreme lap of 1 minute 25.049 seconds which was enough to give him pole, almost half a second up on his team mate Mark Webber who notably also did a single lap and declined to attack Vettel’s best with a second run.
Thus, apart from trouncing their opponents, the energy drinks duo also managed to save tyres and will start the race not only from the front row.
