The Brazilian driver edged out McLaren's Fernando Alonso and team-mate Kimi Raikkonen to banish the disappointment of a gearbox problem at the same stage in Australia three weeks ago.

"I got 100% out of the car," said the 25-year-old, who will be chasing only his third win in Formula One at Sepang. "On my second run I had a bit of traffic but on my last one I got a clean lap in. There was some rain starting to fall at turn seven but it didn't affect my lap."

Alonso was delighted also to secure a place on the front row and underlined his belief that Ferrari would not be as dominant in the second round of the championship.

"Qualifying is like the first lap of the race in that it's all about getting position," the Spaniard said.

"We were second in qualifying three so maybe Ferrari has less fuel but Sunday will be the hardest part of the weekend for us.

"We've made some progress in the last three weeks. We're closer to Ferrari than we were in Australia, where we were uncompetitive in qualifying and about 30 seconds behind Kimi in the middle part of the race. We're going in the right direction."
