This is the 11th pole in 12 races managed by Red Bull this season, in a qualifying session which was pretty much free of incidents. The Hungarian pole however is regarded by the two teammates as much more important than the others, as it may secure the win for Red Bull.
"Ideally I'll just be able to go straight,” Vettel was quoted as saying by grandprix.com. "We found the problem from last week, where I didn't have a good start, and I'm confident we will have a good one tomorrow.”
“We know how important it is -- I was second last year, Fernando was on pole and if I'd been on the clean side it would have been a different race. But 70 laps is tough for the cars and drivers and there's no points for Saturday."
