Sebastian Vettel has answered his critics by taking yet another pole position, his eighth of the 2011 season.
The German starts ahead of the two McLaren drivers with Lewis Hamilton joining him on the front-row, whilst Jenson Button starts alongside Felipe Massa, the first time the Brazilian has outqualified Fernando Alonso this season.
The Spaniard will start fifth with Mark Webber just behind.
Nico Rosberg, Adrian Sutil, Michael Schumacher and Sergio Perez round the top ten off.
All the cars qualified within the 107% regulation. Sebastien Buemi joined Team Lotus, Virgin and HRT in the bottom seven, but will start 23rd after his five-place grid drop from Germany.
