2010 EUROPE GP: VETTEL GRABS THE POLE FROM WEBBER

Sebastian Vettel will start from pole position for Sunday's European Grand Prix after the Red Bull driver edged out team-mate Mark Webber by just +0.075s in Saturday's qualifying session. Vettel set a quickest time of 1m37.587s in the dying minutes to finish ahead of his team-mate, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Felipe Massa finished fifth quickest ahead of Robert Kubica and Jenson Button as the Williams duo of Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg impressed with the eighth and ninth quickest times. Michael Schumacher's trials and tribulations continued as the seven-time world champion squeaked through Q1 on his final lap, his car pulling to one side after a problem with his power steering. But things got even worse for Mercedes in Q2 as Schumacher completed his worst qualifying of the season to finish down in 15th as team-mate Nico Rosberg fared marginally better in 12th.
