Qualifying results - Brazil 2013 - An elongated session at Interlagos sees Sebastian Vettel take pole
Published by Christine
The rain moved in over the track during qualifying, leaving us with a big delay between Q2 and Q3. It gave the marshals time to clear the wreck from Sergio Pérez's crash, the Mexican driver happily unharmed, less happy about ending his session in the barriers. Vettel swept to pole position, with two Toro Rossos in the top ten, and Fernando Alonso lining up next to Mark Webber on the second row.
