qualifing results...!!!!!!
Lewis Hamilton claimed Pole Position for the Chinese Grand Prix in style this afternoon in Shanghai. Starting his final timed lap of the session the championship leader was third fastest behind the Ferrari duo of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. That final lap got the job done as he lapped the 5.451km circuit in 1:35.908s to record his sixth pole of the season.
Kimi Raikkonen had set the pace in every practice session and in qualifying up until that final run. The Ferrari driver will therefore be disappointed to start second with a time just over a tenth slower than Hamilton. Felipe Massa starts third ahead of Fernando Alonso who was surprisingly off the pace in his McLaren Mercedes having shown so well in practice.
Behind the top four runners, David Coulthard put in his strongest qualifying performance in some time to qualify his Red Bull Renault in fifth position with team-mate Mark Webber a solid seventh. Ralf Schumacher too put in a good run in his Toyota and will start and encouraging sixth in what is his penultimate race for the team and perhaps in Formula One. Nick Heidfeld and starts eighth in his BMW Sauber just ahead of team-mate Nick Heidfeld in what has been a difficult weekend for the Swiss-based team.
