FIA post-qualifying press conference - Australia
Posted at Formula1.com on March 27, 2010

Drivers: 1. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 1m 23.919s; 2. Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1m 24.035s; 3. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 1m 24.111s

Sebastian Vettel: Yeah, I think obviously first of all it is a great result for both of us and for the team. Mark’s home race, so it is a little bit funny remembering last year from Germany, so kind of revenge but it is a long race tomorrow.
