Nakajima, Sutil, Bourdais, Fisichella, Piquet, Buemi, Glock, Kubica, Heidfeld and Trulli make the rest of the field.

Is Alonso's pace genuine, or is he very light ? Toyota and BMW occupying the last 4 places is a concern!

Should be an exciting qualifying in 2 hours

We'll know in Q2

But in Monaco and all the traffic, we may not!
