Japan Qualifying
A good qualifying session, and certainly an interesting one.
Lewis pulled off a great lap in the drying moments of Q3 to take the pole position, but it looked like Kimi, who had seemed to be struggling all qualifying up until Q3 was certainly the man to beat. He pulled a great first Q3 lap out, and then backed it up with a good second lap, but was piped by the Lewis lap.
Heikki did well to take the third spot on the grid, with a decent lap at the end of the session, and the Renault of Alonso was again looking quick, and took fourth.
Massa seemed to struggle when the Ferrari had fuel put on board, after being quick in Q1 and Q2 he struggled with car balance in Q3, so starts fifth.
Behind the title contenders, and their wingmen is Robert Kubica, Jarno and Timo in the Toyota’s and then Vettel and Bourdais in the Toro Rosso’s again outperforming the prime Red Bull team.

Just wanted to know if Alonso will be pulled up regarding his pit lane error during qualifying?
