Qualifying Report
Abu Dhabi GP
Lewis Hamilton blasted to pole position at Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi over half a second from the chasing Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. All the action took place in the dying moments with pole position switching every few seconds between the top 4 drivers. Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button were fourth and fifth for Brawn but although Button never looked like taking pole, Barrichello was pretty much in contention. Jarno Trulli rounded out the top six fastest. The BMW Saubers of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld making their qualifying swansong for the German Marque finished seventh and eighth. Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Buemi closed out the top ten. Notable drivers not making the final shoot out included Kimi Raikkonen out in Q2 and Fernando Alonso out in Q1, and we mustn't forget Giancarlo Fisichella who was last!
