Mark Webber has snatched pole position from team-mate Sebastian Vettel for tomorrow’s Korean Grand Prix.
Vettel appeared to have the pole locked up after the first runs in final qualifying, but Webber produced a brilliant run on his second outing, posting a 1m 37.242s.
It is the second round in a row that the Red Bull pair has locked out the front row of the grid.
McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton will start third ahead of Ferrari’s championship leader Fernando Alonso.
Kimi Raikkonen continued his strong form to take fifth, ahead of Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and Lotus team-mate Romain Grosjean and Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg, who snuck into Q3 with a late but successful run in Q2.
Mercedes duo Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher round out the top 10.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo managed to qualify 16th in his Toro Rosso.
