Just like in Malaysia, iSport International Karun Chandhok will also start from the front row tomorrow in Race 1.

Romain Grosjean was untouchable this Friday on the Bahraini track: not only did he set the pace this morning during Free Practice, but he snatched his third pole position in the 2008 GP2 Asia Series in a 1:42.661 this afternoon.

Behind him, Karun Chandhok signed the second fastest lap time of the session. Tomorrow's front row will hence be identical to the one in Sepang. However, let's hope for the two men that history won't repeat itself as it saw both drivers stall on the grid two weeks ago.

Chandhok's teammate, Bruno Senna completes the Top 3, closely followed by Adrian Valles and Kamui Kobayashi respectively 4th and 5th on the grid. Third in the Drivers' Championship, Fairuz Fauzy will start from the third row in front of Jérôme d'Ambrosio on the other Dams car and Sébastien Buemi.

Diego Nunes from DPR enters for the first time this season in the Top 10. He will start from the 5th row next to Piquet Sports' Marco Bonanomi.
