A smothering heat settled down in this cute village of Saint-Parize-le-Châtel (27°C in the air and 48°C on the track). Hats, caps, wide-brimmed hats, solar creams and bottles of water are rigorous… The first part offers twenty minutes to the drivers to aspire to Q2. At the conclusion of this lapse of time, five of enter they will be eliminated. Kazuki Nakajima, Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil will have to be satisfied with eighth, ninth and tenth lines on the starting grid. A break of seven minutes and the second session begins (fifteen minutes). Nelsinho Piquet fails on the eleventh place. But this session is rather positive for the Brazilian in view of his beginning of season. Nick Heidfeld is only twelfth. It's extremely disappointing. Furthermore, his team-mate qualified himself, as for him, for Super-pole. Sebastian Vettel is a thirteenth shine. Sébastien Bourdais is fourteenth. It's a good result for French (the best of these eight sleeves). Nico Rosberg is classified fifteenth. German will dash last one because of his penalty of Canada. He's involved in the accident in pits ( excessive speed). FIA decided to demote him of ten places. "Q3" sees the appearance of a first quite red line. Kimi Räikkönen signs pole in 1'16"449. Felipe Massa is second. Lewis Hamilton seizes the third time. But the British will leave the thirteenth position. He had provoked Iceman's renunciation in Montreal (the same penalty as for his friend Nico Rosberg). Fernando Alonso is classified fourth in front of Jarno Trulli. Toyota seems shape for the biggest pleasure of the public there. The show will be for the meeting tomorrow with all that. Heikki Kovalainen is the sixth. According to the FIA, he would have hampered Mark Webber during these qualifying. The Finnish driver will be demoted by five places on the starting grid. Robert Kubiça, Red Bull and Timo Glock finish this top 10.

To note : Rubens Barrichello changed his gearbox. He'll dash last one (penalty of five places on the starting grid).
