Presence of girlfriends fail to inspire McLaren duo Hamilton and Button as Red Bull continue their qualifying domination in the Hungarian Grand Prix

Budapest: Presence of their girlfriends could not inspire McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button from stopping the highly impressive Red Bulls pair of Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber from taking the first and second position respectively in Saturday's qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Hamilton had broken up with girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, who is a singer with the American pop group Pussycat Dolls, last year, but got back together earlier this year.

Button also patched things up with model Jessica Michibata earlier this month after they separated in May. This was Michibata's first visit to the paddock after their reunion.

Unfortunately for them, the The Red Bull duo were in a league of their own, again, almost a second quicker than their nearest rivals, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.

Hamilton came in fifth while Button, the defending champion, finished in an unimpressive 11th position.

"It's second in the middle sector and half a second in the final sector ufffd I don't know whet they're doing but it's incredible, they're just so fast," the 2008 champion remarked.

Vettel dedicated his pole to his team for the phenomenal job they have done and hopes to have a more trouble-free start than he did in Germany last weekend.

"I said on the radio to the boys 'this is your moment'. I said 'you built this wonderful car'. It was a pleasure to drive.

"This circuit suits us. You need to know the track but you need to have the car. The track suits our car so we are little bit quicker than the rest. We found the problem from last week that made the bad start so hopefully we can have a normal start tomorrow."
