Vettel takes record India pole for Red Bull

Red Bull set a Formula One record of 16 pole positions in a  season when double world champion Sebastian Vettel lapped fastest in qualifying for the inaugural Indian Grand Prix on Saturday.    

The 24-year-old German's 13th pole in 17 races also kept him on course to break Briton Nigel Mansell's 1992 record of 14 poles in a single year.   

Vettel will be joined on the front row by Australian team mate Mark Webber because McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, who was second fastest in the final session, has a three place penalty for ignoring warning flags in Friday practice.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and McLaren's Jenson Button will share the second row.
