Gracias por los comentarios. Ha sido una gran actuación la de Sebastian Vettel
.. Ya desde los L3 se veía que su ritmo era muy rápido. Ojalá mañana siga con este gran ritmo, las paradas en boxes salgan bien, al igual que la estrategia y que, finalmente, IVettel se lleve la victoria. Y como ha dicho @Stelios, "Vettel es Vettel"..
¡Saludos!

En cuanto se vio que los Mercedes estaban fuera de la lucha, no había ninguna duda de quien se llevaría la pole. Mañana victoria y sudores fríos para algunos.
Y Antena 3 cortando la restransmisión justo despúes de la pole de Vettel, ya me imagino a Lobato diciendo por el pinganillo: "cortad cabrones, que no me apetece decir nada bueno de "la diva".

Sebastian Vettel firma su primera pole de rojo: "Es un resultado fantástico"
Jornada para el recuerdo. El equipo Ferrari ha sido capaz de frenarle los pies a Mercedes en clasificación y ha conseguido la primera pole del año. Sebastian Vettel ha sido el encargado de firmarla después de haber mostrado un rendimiento insultante e imbatible de cara a sus rivales en la pista. Además, Kimi Räikkönen ha acabado en la tercera posición. Por ello, la Scuderia se posiciona como clara favorita para ganar la carrera del domingo.
Sebastian Vettel (1º, 1:43.885):
"Obviamente, no nos dan puntos hoy pero, para el equipo, para todos nosotros, es un resultado fantástico. Hemos estado esperando esto durante mucho tiempo, no solo por el equipo, sino por mí también. Quizás podría haber abortado el último intento, pero no tenía mucho sentido hacerlo, porque no sabía lo que el resto estaba haciendo, y me sentía fantástico, así que empujé hasta el final. Ahora tengo muchas ganas de la carrera, aunque sabemos que será muy difícil y complicado dominar todas las condiciones que se experimentan en una carrera. Pero empezamos desde el lugar perfecto; no me importaría abrir hueco desde el principio, pero va a ser una carrera muy larga. Hay muchas decisiones pequeñas que has de tomar, y es fácil centrarse en el gran resultado y abandonar los pequeños detalles. Hemos de centrarnos, porque pueden pasar muchas cosas hasta que veamos la bandera a cuadros".

FIA post-qualifying press conference - Singapore
Drivers: 1 - Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari); 2 - Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull); 3 Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari).
TV UNILATERAL
Q: Sebastian, pole and by quite a margin as well. Your first for Ferrari and Ferrari?s first for 61 races, going back quite a few years. Your feelings?
Sebastian Vettel: And a proper one I would say. Unbelievable. I know it?s only Saturday and the main job is coming tomorrow but I had to enjoy the moment when I heard that I made it. It was looking good right from the offset of quali and actually from this morning to be fair. The car was fantastic to drive; it just got better through qualifying. I think we got the maximum today. Surprised by the margin but I think it just came together. I really had a near-perfect lap at the end. I was very, very happy with the laps I had today, especially the last one. Around here it?s such a long, tricky lap; it?s so easy to go just a little in too deep or push a little bit too much but it just seemed to come in the end. I was very happy that I made it to the finish line because it felt like a good lap and it was a good lap in the end. Very happy, it puts us in a great place for tomorrow but, as I said, it?s only Saturday and the main job is coming tomorrow. I?m sure the Mercedes will be quick tomorrow ? everything else would be a bit of surprise and it's already a bit of a surprise. And the Red Bulls of course, so tough job ahead tomorrow.
PRESS CONFERENCE
Q: Sebastian, Ferrari?s first pole, in fact, since Germany 2012, I?m told. As Daniel was saying just a moment ago, it is against the run of form of the past 18 months really for no Mercedes driver to be up here. Can you put into words, explain why you think this is happening this weekend?
SV: To be perfectly honest I think we don?t mind for a start; sorry! I don?t know, it?s a surprise. I thought yesterday they were sandbagging and also this morning, because there?s no doubt they have the strongest package this year. They have a very good car, sorry, a very good power unit, which we know. It usually puts them very high up and difficult to beat. I don?t know, they must have some issues not feeling comfortable at all; it?s the only explanation I think. But I wouldn?t rule them out for tomorrow. It?s not the easiest circuit to overtake but if you have the pace eventually you come through, so I expect them to be strong tomorrow.
Q: The other half of it of course is that you?ve obviously improved?
SV: Well, obviously we always try to improve. Obviously we hope that we can show the exact same result? maybe a little bit better to have both of us in 1-2, without being too greedy, next Saturday. Then you can say we have improved. We generally feel OK on this track; obviously it?s about feeling confident. I think it was fairly close the whole weekend between Kimi and myself. I the quali the gap seemed to increase. He explained that he wasn?t that comfortable and I think that?s where a lot of lap time is ? if you feel confident with the car then you can attack. There is no room for error here and it can easily make a big difference. But nevertheless it?s a great day and it puts us in a very good place for tomorrow so I don?t mid at all.
Drivers: 1 - Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari); 2 - Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull); 3 Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari).

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR
Q: (Peter Windsor ? F1 Racing) Sebastian, forgive this hypothetical question, bear with me. Beautiful pole lap. If you could go back 12 months and drive last year?s RB11 as you are now, do you think you?re a better, slightly faster, more experienced driver. Do you think you?d be quicker in the RB11 now, if you could get back into the car as it was.
SV: It?s a very difficult question to answer because there?s no way I can do that. Look, it?s very simple: last year for sure I didn?t have a great year and all in all Daniel had a very good year and beat me fair and square, many times. Other times I was in front but overall it was not the best year for myself. A lot of stuff that I learned? yeah, obviously didn?t have a good start to the season. Didn?t drive the car very often. I think I did about one day of testing, one proper day of testing, before the season, and then we had lots of issues ? but still, I think I?m experienced enough to know what to do to go quick but yeah, simply wasn?t good enough. Daniel showed that he could go quicker with the car on occasions. So, to try and answer your question? I don?t know ? but I think I?ve learned a couple of bits about this generation of cars, let?s say and yeah, probably the way the season went last year has helped me for this year.
Q: (Lim Say Heng ? The New Paper) This question is for Sebastian. You must be quite familiar, comfortable and confident here since you?ve won here three times. How much of that comfort and confidence helped you in getting pole today?
SV: I think it?s crucial if you?re confident around the track. You need to be confident in your car. It is a street circuit and the better you feel, the closer you can get to the walls. It is a circuit where the driver can make a difference. If he feels comfortable? I don?t know, I?ve always loved this track since I came here. I had a very good result in 2008, I think 2009 was OK as well. It?s a tough one, a tough lap. It?s an extreme challenge but it?s the sort of race where you?re kind of excited. Not scared but nervous as well, before you start. There?s a lot of things happening, it?s intense, you need to keep your focus up. So, looking forwards to tomorrow.

Q: (Daniel Johnson ? The Telegraph) Seb, two things if I may. First of all, it?s been a while for you and the team since you started on pole, is there anything you have to refresh tonight? Any studying you need to do to remember all what you have to do. The second bit is, are you expecting this to be a blip with Mercedes so far behind or do you think this could be the pattern for the rest of the year?
SV: Expect it to be a pattern. They?ve been way too comfortable and too strong for a long time so, I don?t know what happened today, probably we?ll here after quali what they have to say. As I?ve said, I think they will be quick tomorrow and then, the first part of your question, I don?t think so. I think it?s actually easier if you have nobody in front on the formation lap to look out for. You can do your own thing. It?s nice. Obviously hard work on Saturday but we succeeded and looking forward to have a clean run to Turn One.
Q: (Heikki Kulta ? Turun Sanomat) Sebastian, last time Ferrari was having a front row was France 2008 when Kimi was in pole. Can you see that realistic this season to happen also? To get a front row for Ferrari?
SV: I think yes. We are trying, both as hard as possible. I think obviously today could have been possible but in the end obviously I was a bit lucky that I felt really comfortable, Kimi wasn?t. It?s easy to lose some time there but for the rest of the season we go maximum attack. Anything can happen, it can rain on Saturday. There?s always the chance to do well ? so we have to attack latest next Saturday if you talk about qualifying.
