Normal service was resumed in the closing 10-minute blast that is Q3 after Formula One's 'minnows' had threatened a major surprise in the first two sessions as Sebastian Vettel and Jarno Trulli shone.

But Massa took the honours with a lap of one minute 38.989 seconds to edge current championship leader Lewis Hamilton into second by 0.210secs, with BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica third.

Behind the leading trio came reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen in his Ferrari - outqualified by Massa for the eighth time in 12 races - followed by fellow Finn Heikki Kovalainen in his McLaren.

Vettel at least managed a career-high sixth for Toro Rosso, with Trulli seventh, Nick Heidfeld eighth in his BMW Sauber and Nico Rosberg ninth in his Williams.

To complete a stunning day for Toro Rosso, Sebastien Bourdais made it into the top 10 for the first time.
