2010 TURKISH GP: WEBBER AGAIN ON POLE POSITION



Mark Webber will start from Pole Position of the Turkish Grand Prix. This is the third in a row for the Australian. Surprise is his closest competitor in Q3 was Lewis Hamilton, who took second starting position. Sebastian Vetel was again slower in qualifying than his team-mate and had to settle with third position, while Ferrari will have major difficulties in its 800 F1 Grand Prix race, with Fernando Alonso on catastrophic 12th position and Felipe Massa with only eighth.

Undoubtedly the biggest news from Q2 was elimination of Fernando Alonso. His mistake into turn 12, cost the two-time champion badly, but he had another lap and again failed to set a time to enter the Top 10, which is another confirmation that this year the track in Turkey is not good for Ferrari`s. Fears they had before the race about Bridgestone tires proved true. Big day for Renault with both Kubica and Petrov in third qualification session. This was the first time for Petrov to be placed in Q3 with excellent seventh time in this part of qualifying.

Q1 passed without major surprises. Three debutant and currently slowest teams had been eliminated and filled the places from position 19 to 24. As a surprise you can call it vitantonio Liuzzi again not passed the first qualification session, largely due to the blocking of the wheels when braking into curve 10. Liuzzi was eventually full second slower than team-mate Sutil, who easily placed in the top ten cars in that moment.Lukas di Gras had a problem with his car, and left with only two qualifying laps.
