Australia Saturday quotes: Red Bull

Sebastian Vettel - 1st: "A great result for the team. It's obviously Mark's home race here - but he got pole in Germany, so it's kind of a revenge (laughs)! But, it's a long race tomorrow. I think we made a good step with the car ahead of today's qualifying. The final session was all about if it would rain or not, so we waited a little bit at the start. My first lap in Q3 was the quickest and it was spot on until the last three corners. I was on the edge through Turn 14, but then I lost a little bit in last corner going on to the main straight. It was a very good lap up until that point though and the result says it all. I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

Mark Webber - 2nd: "I would prefer to be on pole position of course, but second is still a good result and it's great for the team to have a one-two. It would be nice to be one place further up, but Seb did a good job. It was a good battle - with about 800ths between us in the end. I wasn't mega-concerned about the weather today, as it's the same for everyone and whatever happens, happens! I think tomorrow will be enjoyable - but I would prefer a dry race, as the track can get slippery with intermittent conditions."

Christian Horner: "It was a brilliant team qualifying performance today with great laps from both drivers to secure the front row. Sebastian also set a new track record for pole position. Inclement weather looks as if it's looming for tomorrow afternoon, but there's no better place to start the race than from the front. Our strategy was slightly different to the other teams with our tyre choice in Q1 and Q2, but both drivers did excellent jobs and we're in good shape for Sunday."

Fabrice Lom: "A super result, in fact the perfect one for qualifying. It was a very good performance, we have a fast car and good drivers. We're really happy, but as we can see from the last race, the most important thing is to finish tomorrow with no problems. We let Red Bull down at the last race with engine problems on both cars, so we will only enjoy it if we have no problems tomorrow and finish the race in the same positions.
