Webber on pole,Sutil to start 8th

Red Bull’s Mark Webber will start Sunday’s German Formula One Grand Prix on pole position with McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton alongside after a superb qualifying lap. Champions Red Bull have now seized pole for the last 11 races,10 of them this season,but their world champion Sebastian Vettel could only manage third spot on the grid at his home race. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso,winner in Britain earlier this month,qualified fourth.

It was the first time in 15 races that runaway championship leader Vettel,who has an 80 point lead over Webber,was not on the front row. Hamilton’s performance was a shock given the Briton had dismissed his team’s chances on Friday after recent disappointing showings.

Force India driver Adrian Sutil recorded his best qualifying performance of the season by capturing eighth place on the grid while his teammate Paul di Resta will start at the 12th spot

Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher just squeezed into the final phase of qualifying with the Mercedes fans in the stands doing their best to roar him on. He will start 10th. Karun Chandhok,making his return to F1 at team Lotus,will start 21st on the grid.
