NEW DELHI - Sebastian Vettel will start from pole position at the Indian Grand Prix, shoring up the Red Bull driver’s bid for a fourth straight Formula One title.
Vettel only needs to finish fifth or better tomorrow to wrap up the championship, and claimed his third straight pole at Buddh International Circuit. The German has won both previous Indian GP races, leading every lap.
Nico Rosberg will share the front of the grid after finishing second in today’s qualifying, with fellow Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton third and Red Bull’s Mark Webber fourth.
Felipe Massa starts from fifth, while Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso could only manage eighth.
