Sebastian Vettel kept his season of dominance rolling today with a record 15th pole, breaking the 19 year mark set by Nigel Mansell. Vettel was very much aware of the significance of his new record, "There has been quite some talk about this record and the best thing was not to think about it at all,I am enjoying the moment. I put everything in the last lap and I was very emotional when I crossed the line as I knew that was all I had. Really special - it took the master in the discipline Nigel Mansell a couple of races less - and now I am looking forward to the race."
Mark Webber will start next to his team mate in the front row. Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton round out the top 4.
Since there is some wet weather in the forecast, anything is possible, perhaps Webb or either of the 2 McLaren's can challenge King Vettel. My best guess is Seb will once again slam the hammer down on his year and the season with yet another dominating victory.
My apologies for a truncated report this week, I am going through a very challenging family event at the present time.
