Felipe Massa P6

Sixth and tenth places in qualifying is definitely not the result that was expected by Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, nor does it represent the true potential of the car. Felipe Massa was sixth fastest in Q3, making the most of the first set of new tyres, out of the two available, while on his second run, a sudden light shower prevented the Brazilian from improving. But it was even more penalising for Fernando Alonso who, with only one set of new soft tyres left, was unable to post a competitive time: hence the tenth place for the Spaniard on tomorrow’s starting grid.

Just for a change, pole position went to a Red Bull! This time it was Mark Webber. Alongside him at the start will be Hamilton’s McLaren, with the second row made up of the Renault of Robert Kubica and the Red Bull of Vettel.
