    Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel again will lead from the front at the Turkish Grand Prix after the German driver secured his fourth straight pole position of the season Saturday.

    Red Bull will start Sunday's race 1-2 on the grid after teammate Mark Webber posted the second-fastest time, with Nico Rosberg carrying over his impressive form in practice to take the third spot for Mercedes.

    The 23-year-old Vettel showed that he had fully recovered from the crash that hampered his opening practice in the rain Friday and is in a perfect position to aim for a third Grand Prix win of the season.
