Of course all the fuel used in qualifying cannot be replaced before the race so the less laps you do the better for the race!

2 minutes remain!

Barrichello in 4th ahead of Button, Trulli, Rosberg, Raikkonen, Hamilton and Buemi.

Of course we don't know the fuel loads but this is a surprise perfomance.

Alonso goes and congratulates Vettel on his Pole.

Horner says they went agressive with their strategy which means they may be light. Vettel only did 1 run in this session so that could also hint at a light fuel load.

We will know a bit later today

Button seems a bit surprised by the result but acknowledges that the Red Bull's have been quick

Vettel admits that the reason for doing just single runs in qualifying was due to a problem.
