With the weekend’s fastest man so far (Alonso) out of the running for pole position, Mark Webber steps up to claim top spot and Red Bull continues it’s flawless pursuit of pole perfection. After Alonoso pitched his car into the unforgiving wall and put himself on the sidelines and out of the running in the last practice session, the rest of the field battled for pole. Ferrari’s Massa found himself 4th just behind Vettel. Another great performance from Kubica to put his Renault on the front line just behind Webber. Perhaps the biggest surprise was McLaren’s Button struggling to qualify 9th. The Mercedes of Rosberg and Schumacher are the meat in a McLaren sandwhich behind Lewis (5th). Rounding out the top 10 are Rubens and Liuzzi.
