Australian Mark Webber put his Red Bull on pole position for Sunday’s showcase Monaco Grand Prix. The 33-year-old’s second pole in the space of a week continued his team’s stranglehold on the top slot,with Renault-powered Red Bull chalking up six out of six this season.

Webber secured it by three tenths of a second from Poland’s Robert Kubica in a Renault,with Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel pushed into third place in Saturday’s qualifying. Ferrari’s Brazilian Felipe Massa completed the second row.

His team mate Fernando Alonso watched qualifying from the garage after wrecking his car in final practice. The Spaniard,second in the championship behind McLaren’s Jenson Button,will start from the pit lane. World champion Button,last year’s winner here with Brawn GP,just sneaked through to the third and final phase of qualifying and secured eighth slot. McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton qualified fifth with Nico Rosberg alongside for Mercedes and in front Michael Schumacher.
