The 33-year-old drivers' championship leader, winner of the last two races in Spain and Monaco, has now claimed four poles this season -- as Red Bull have taken all seven this season.
He will be chasing a hat-trick of victories on Sunday's in a bid to jump clear at the top for the drivers' title. Webber is currently leading on 78 points level with German teammate Sebastian Vettel, who qualified third behind 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton of McLaren.
Webber was satisfied after a struggle to find a good set-up in Istanbul. "It hasn't been the smoothest of weekends for us in terms of getting the running in. Getting ready for 'quali' things started to get a little bit better. I was a little bit on the back foot going in to be honest, but I knew if I dug deep it could be OK. I'm a little bit more confident for tomorrow," said Webber.
