Italian veteran Jarno Trulli took pole position
for Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix when he delivered a scorching final lap
in Saturday's closely-contested qualifying session at the Sakhir
circuit.
Trulli, 34, topped the times ahead of his Toyota team-mate German Timo Glock recording a first-ever Toyota front row lockout for his first pole since Japan in in 2005.
The Toyota pair will start on the grid ahead of German Sebastian Vettel, winner of last Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix for Red Bull and championship-leading Briton Jenson Button of Brawn GP.
For Trulli, it was the fourth pole of his career.
Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton was fifth for McLaren Mercedes ahead of Brazilian Rubens Barrichello in the second Brawn, two-times champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Renault and Brazilian Felipe Massa, for Ferrari.
German Nico Rosberg was ninth for Williams and Finn Kimi Raikkonen 10th for Ferrari, a result that gives the team a chance of ending their worst start to a season since 1981.
