Qualifying Review

Webber clinched his first pole at the Suzuka Circuit after clocking a time of 1:30.915. The defending champions and his teammate Sebastian Vettel was 0.174s behind the Australian. The 26-year-old German had an intermittent KERS issue with his car and will start the Sunday's race from the second spot.

Vettel was the fastest in Friday's practice session and could win his fourth Championship in a row at Suzuka. The Red Bull driver should win the Japanese Grand Prix, while hoping his closest rival, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso finishes lower than eighth.
