Formula One:Sebastian Vettel again destroyed the field in qualifying ahead of tomorrow's European Grand Prix as he clinched his seventh pole in eight races this season.
It is the 22nd pole of Vettel’s career, and the ninth in a row for Red Bull stretching back to the end of last season.
In claiming all eight this season, it is the first time a team has managed such a feat since McLaren started 1998 with nine successive poles.
Reigning champion Vettel became the first driver to set a sub one minute 37-second lap witnessed at the Valencia street circuit.
Vettel posted a time of one minute 36.975 seconds, finishing 0.188secs ahead of Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber, who pipped Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren late on, leaving the Briton to start third.
Despite teams being forced to run the same engine mapping without using tweaks to enhance performance for qualifying as in the race, that mattered little to Red Bull.
Behind the leading trio will be Ferrari duo Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in fourth and fifth, with Jenson Button sixth in his McLaren, finishing almost 0.7secs behind Vettel.
Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher line up seventh and eighth for Mercedes, with Renault’s Nick Heidfeld ninth and Adrian Sutil 10th for Force India.
