Webber is 0.2 off at the 1st sector, 0.3 off at the second.

He takes second with a time of 1:20.442. That is impressive making up time in the 3rd sector!

Ralf Schumacher on track. The Toyota didn't appear to be very competitive this weekend. Let's see if that changes this session.

Ralf manages 9th with a 1:20.994

Raikkonen next then Trulli then Alonso

Kimi up on Michael after the first sector and up 0.2 after the second and takes provisional pole with a time of 1:19.886. Stunning!

Trulli on track then Alonso.

There is talk in the paddock that Red Bull have secured Ferrari engines for next year!

Trulli 0.1 down at the first sector, 0.4 at the second sector.

He moves into 5th with a time of 1:20.492

Alonso the last to go out is on the track

Alonso matching Raikkonen in the first sector, a tenth off at the second

And takes second with a time of 1:19.889 just 0.003 seconds off the time of Raikkonen.

So Kimi Raikkonen is on provisional pole just 0.003 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso. Nothing in it from the second qualifying.

Top 8: Raikkonen (1:19.886), Alonso (+0.003), M Schumacher, Webber, Button , Trulli, Massa and Wurz

Full results

Hey julian, if you haven't noticed I said

Hopefully Kapel and julian will stop fearing Ferrari

What will it take for u to ......

Oh maybe I should have said Bambinos instead

And be happy with Webber's performance will you.

He could just could get on the podium (once the Bambino driver struggles with his tyres).
Where did you put him in 8 'n' Pole ? Don't worry, picks closed yesterday

alonso showed today why he will be champion this year

he ran the least laps yesterday and today but was just 0.003 seconds behind raikkonen in qualifying

i think we will have a close race between alonso and raikkonen and maybe michael if his tyres are ok which is good but alonso will do his magic, look at fisichella, with a better and new engine he is 15th!
