The Red Bull team have grabbed pole position and locked out the front row for the Chinese Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel recorded a time of 1:34.558, nearly 3 tenths quicker than his team mate Mark Webber in 2nd. Fernando Alonso slotted in 3rd for Ferrari, with his team mate Felipe Massa in a lowly 7th. The McLaren's of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button struggled in Q3 and came only 5th and 6th, while Michael Schumacher also struggled, finishing a season worst in 9th place. His team mate, Nico Rosberg, did well, and set a time of 1:34.923, which puts him in 4th place for tomorrow's Grand Prix.

I will be doing a full qualifying review later today, but for now, here are the qualifying results:

What a difference between times....

Yeah, I know, six seconds between Vettel and Chandhok.

True, on the other hand if you see that the gab between new comers and the slowest Force India is only 2 seconds? Thats manageable
