The title is on the line and Felipe Massa has put himself in the best possible position to win Sunday’s 71-lap Brazilian Grand Prix as he stormed to the pole position by over three-tenths of a second. As ever, the battle for the pole came down to the wire at the end of the final sessions and the Brazilian improved on his own best with a lap around the 4.309km circuit with an unbeatable 1:12.368s.
Jarno Trulli has run well all weekend in the leading Toyota, but the Italian veteran really pulled it all out on his final run to join Massa on the front row of the grid. Looking at the gap to team-mate Timo Glock, some 1.4 seconds, it is fairly safe to assume that Toyota has a very split fuel strategy and this will please the pole sitter.
Outgoing champion Kimi Raikkonen had a relatively trouble-free run to line up third in the second Ferrari but Lewis Hamilton made it hard work to join the Finn on the second row of the grid.
The race is later this afternoon, those of you who support Ferrari, keeps your thumbs crossed, we know you can it!
