Webber ends Vettel's run of pole positions

7:10 am on 22 May 2011

Australian Formula One driver Mark Webber's taken pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix, ending Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel's bid for a sixth in succession.

Formula One world champion Vettel will start alongside on the front row while McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso will line up together on the second row.

The Australian has yet to win a race this season but was triumphant last year from pole position at a circuit where the winner has started in the top slot for all of the past decade.
