Bahrain qualifying, Red Bull and Sebastien Vettel storm to Pole ahead of the Ferraris
Sebastien Vettel took pole position with an outstanding lap to ensure that the Red Bull has a chance in the race tomorrow. It seems that the team that finished last year strongest continues that form. The Ferrari looks quick though so watch out tomorrow Sebastien.
Q1
The first session saw the elimination of all the new teams cars along with Jaime Alguersuari in the Toro Rosso. Senna beat Chandhok, Timo Glock beat both the Lotus‘ along with his Virgin team mate and Trulli outqualified Kovalainen.
Q2
Q3 saw all the teams go for the soft tyres as they are all unsure of everybody elses pace, this is the key session for the midfield teams and it was the Renault of Kubica and the Force India of Sutil that managed to get through. Jenson Button only just squeezed through in the last few seconds as the McLarens still seem berift of pace today.
Q3
In the final session Ferrari held the top spot for most of the session while the McLarens struggled but it was a confident Vettel that stormed through to take the pole.
Watch out for the Ferraris tomorrow as they are kinder on their tyres, and for Barrichello who is the top driver on new tyres.
