Qualifying Report
Turkish GP
Sebastian Vettel put in a superb late lap to pip Jenson Button to pole position for the Turkish Grand Prix. It was a ding dong battle between the Red Bull and Brawn drivers with Rubens Barrichello securing third place on the grid followed by Mark Webber who will start from fourth. Jarno Trulli had been well in contention but in the end the Toyota driver was edged down into a still useful 5th place. The Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa are improving race by race but were unable to find the pace to compete with Brawn and Red Bull for pole, settling for sixth and seventh places on the grid. Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg and Robert Kubica all made it through to the final shoot out rounding out the top ten fastest. It was another dire qualifying performance from the McLaren team with Lewis Hamilton failing to make the first cut and ending down in sixteenth place with team mate Heikki Kovalainen faring only marginally better in fourteenth place.
