However, at least he clinched his first front row grid slot of the 2011 campaign.
Felipe Massa qualified in third place ahead of Mark Webber while Lewis Hamilton, who is reportedly running more downforce in preparation for the predicted rain on Sunday, was fifth quickest, 0.551s off the pace.

Meanwhile, Jerome D'Ambrosio faces an anxious wait to see if he's permitted to race as the Virgin Racing driver failed to meet the 107 percent qualifying time.
