Vettel knocked off his perch by teammate Webber

Mark Webber secured pole position for 2011 Spanish Grand Prix. He piped teammate Vettel by 2 tenths, as he had struggled with KERS issues for the majority of the qualifying hour.

Lewis Hamilton bounced back to third after qualifying 4th in Turkey, while home favourite Fernando Alonso picked up a great 4th. Jenson Button will start 5th, as Michael Schumacher will start with 10th as he didn`t set a Q3 time as he tried to save tyres for the race tomorrow.
