The young Red Bull star left it until the final hot lap of the closing 10-minute Q3 to demote championship leader Button down to second, with Brawn GP team-mate Rubens Barrichello third.

It is the third pole of the 21-year-old's career, with both his victories to date coming from the front of the grid, in Italy last year and China this season.

Behind the top three was Mark Webber in his Red Bull, followed by Toyota's Jarno Trulli and Kimi Raikkonen for Ferrari.

Felipe Massa, who has won this race for the last three years from pole, will have to go some to make it four in a row from seventh on the grid.

The top 10 is rounded out by Fernando Alonso for Renault, Williams' Nico Rosberg and BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica, aiming to break his points duck for the year.

World champion Lewis Hamilton will start from 16th in his McLaren.
