This time Vettel has managed to make it into Q2 while Bourdais hasn't!

Also it looks like Nakajima is struggling on this track being in 16th while Rosberg is up in 6th!

Not a good sign for Piquet who continues to struggle with his Renault

Massa goes second and Hamilton in 3rd. Kovalainen in 5th.

5 minutes remain and everyone will have another run (except for the Ferraris who seem to be so far in front!)

Raikkonen's time was a 1:26.192
