The reigning world champion saved it until the final moment as he was the last to cross the line in a hotly-contested final 10-minute showdown, deposing Force India's Adrian Sutil from top spot.

Behind another unusual front row, given Sutil's performance, Kimi Raikkonen again gave Ferrari something to cheer. He will start third, with the 2007 world champion joined on the second row by his fellow Finn, McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen.

The Brawns, clearly back in form after their recent struggles, are on the third row, with Rubens Barrichello starting fifth and Jenson Button sixth, the Brazilian outqualifying the Briton for the third successive race.

On his debut for Force India, Tonio Liuzzi gave the team another historic moment as he will start seventh, the first time they have managed to get both cars into the top 10.

Renault's Fernando Alonso starts eighth, followed by the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, their title hopes fading further.

BMW Sauber suffered a wretched Q2 as both Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica retired with engine trouble.
