Formula 1 in India: Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel victory sets up F1's big race; India Inc big shots expected to attend today

NEW DELHI: Red Bull's two-time world champion Sebastian Vettel will take pole position for the Airtel Indian Grand Prix — India's inaugural F1 race — on Sunday as he set the fastest qualifying lap on Saturday for the 13th time this season. He is now one pole position short of the all-time record of 14 pole positions a season set in 1992 by British driver Nigel Mansell (there were fewer grands prix then, however).

He will be joined on the front row by Red Bull teammate Mark Webber, as McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, who set the second fastest qualifying lap on Saturday, had received a three-place grid penalty during the practice sessions on Friday. Vettel's pole position gave reigning world champions team Red Bull a record 16 pole positions in a season.
