Japanese GP qualifying quotes: Red Bull

Sebastian Vettel - 2nd: "First of all congratulations to Mark, I think he did a very good lap. We had an issue in qualifying, but I'm not a big fan of thinking that without this, with this, if this, you know... it's always unknown and we're P2. I'm happy with the result, a front row for the team is great. The car was phenomenal today, especially in the first sector. You realise afterwards that the car was really fantastic through there and you don't get many days when the car feels that great and you can really push it to the limit. I enjoyed qualifying today and I'm happy with second place."

Christian Horner: "It's great to have secured front row for tomorrow's race. It was a very strong performance by Mark today to claim his first pole of the year and Sebastian, despite the failure of KERS on his car, produced a great lap also to get onto the front row for tomorrow's race. We need to understand the issue with his car, as it's the second session we had a KERS problem. Hopefully we can convert these very strong grid positions into a good points haul tomorrow."

(Renault) Thierry Salvi: "Seb had a KERS issue in qualifying, which he had to try and manage throughout the lap. I let you imagine the job he had to do during those timed laps, but at the end he did not have the benefit of any KERS boost. It was a brilliant effort by both drivers to lock out the front row. It takes the Renault total to 209 poles and a new record for engine manufacturers - something we can be very proud of. But equally important is the advantage it gives us for tomorrow."
