Three races and third pole position for Red Bull, it's Mark Webber's turn to obtain it.
Rain is the real owner for the qualification. Alongside the Australian in the front row, Nico Rosberg with Mercedes is persuasive. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) in on the second row with the excellent Adrian Sutil with his Force India. The rookie Nico Hulkenberg is fifth in this difficult conditions ahead of Robert Kubica in the Renault.
Piégés par la pluie en Q1, Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) et les pilotes Ferrari Fernando Alonso et Felipe Massa ont pris la piste trop tard lorsque la pluie s'intensifiait et n'ont pu se qualifier en Q2. Sorti de piste pour Jenson Button durant cette séance, il n'a pu participer aux séances Q2 et Q3, bien que son temps était suffisant pour sortir de la Q1.
Fourth row for ex-teammates Rubens Barrichello (Williams) and Michael Schumacher (Mercedes). Conspicuously excluded at the end of Q1 the two Ferrari drivers, Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso, who have waited too long entering the track in the first segment and were scrubbed rising intensity of the rain. Same error for Lewis Hamilton with McLaren while Jenson Button was sanded.
