Maiden victory beckons for Toyota

In their eighth season and 127th grand prix, Toyota stand on the brink of their maiden victory after Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock scored an historic one-two in qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

For veteran Trulli, it is the fourth time in his 203-race career he starts from top spot. He posted a lap of one minute 33.431 seconds at the Sakhir circuit, pipping team-mate Glock by almost three tenths.

Last Sunday's race winner in China, Sebastian Vettel, is third for Red Bull Racing, with Britons Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton fourth and fifth for Brawn GP and McLaren respectively.

Rubens Barrichello starts sixth in his Brawn ahead of the Renault of Fernando Alonso, with the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen sandwiching Williams' Nico Rosberg in eighth, ninth and 10th.

Despite McLaren's improvements, Heikki Kovalainen again missed out on the top 10, but only just, by 0.076secs, leaving him 11th.
