    The final two drivers in the top ten are McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen and Brawn GP driver Barrichello, who posted the fifth-fastest time, but will start from tenth after incurring a five-place penalty for a gearbox change.

    Championship leader Jenson Button was eliminated in the second round of the qualifying and will start in 12th place on the sixth row of the grid, two places behind his team-mate Barrichello.

    Button leads the standings with four races to go with 80 points from Barrichello, who is on 66. The Red Bull duo of Vettel and Webber are third and fourth respectively with 54 and 51.5 points.
