Sebastian Vettel and the fast Red Bull ran one hot lap and managed to take the pole position. A first for Red Bull, as he did for Toro Rosso in 2008...	Fernando Alonso in the Renault drove beyond the cars potential to take 2nd spot and be on the 1st row since Spain GP in 2008!
Mark Webber drove his fast Red Bull to a 3rd place finish as he showed the cars potential. Mark Webber looked good after a tough winter where he broke his leg and had injuries.	Rubens Barrichello and his Brawn GP car get the 4th spot, while Jenson Button in the 2nd Brawn GP finished 5th. Both Red Bulls and both Brawns looked extremely fast and will be the cars to beat!
Felipe Massa in his Ferrari, still without a point and not in the top 10 during the Friday Practice. He has struggled just to get into Q3 this season and it seems that Ferrari is in trouble!	Jenson Button in his Brawn GP looked good as usual; especially since FIA said their diffuser is legal and allowed to keep running them. The rest of the field is just trying to catch up.
Fernando Alonso and the Renault, testing a new diffuser has managed to show everyone why he is a 2 time world champion. With the right car, he would be almost impossible to beat.	Nico Rosberg and his Williams had a great practice round and continues to improve as a driver. Just a matter of time before he breaks through.
