Alonso in 8th isn't going back out! This is too risky unless of course he has a problem!

Rosberg out of his car and he hasn't set a time. Looks like a problem for him

Close fight for the final 2 places. Vettel goes 9th then Piquet goes 9th then Webber goes 9th!

So the top 10 are: Massa, Glock, Hamilton, Kovalainen, Trulli, Raikkonen, Kubica, Alonso, Webber and Piquet

Knocked out: Heidfeld, Nakajima, Barrichello, Fisichella and Sutil

Glock so far is the surprise of the Qualifying.

3rd session about to start, air temperature at 30 degrees while track temperature has dropped to 38 degrees.

Hamilton on Pole with a 1:20.899. Kovalainen in second with a 1:21.140. Massa in 3rd with a 1:21.191.

Kubica, Glock, Raikkonen, Alonso, Webber, Trulli and Piquet makde the top 10.

Apart from Piquet who appears to be heavy, the rest are separated by under a second. Of course we don't know the fuel loads.

Kimi certainly has some sort of a problem! This will only add to the rumours that he will be retiring at the end of the season (or next!)

Sebastien Bourdais who qualified 14th has been penalised by the stewards for blocking Nick Heidfeld.

He has been demoted 5 places and will start from 19th.
