FORMULA 1 GRAN PRIX DE MONACO 2010 Qualifying
Webber takes the pole in a last minute effort from Robert Kubica in the Renault, with Vettel in third making an all Renault engine first three qualifiers. The big news however, is that after topping the time sheets in all pre-qualifying practices, Fernando Alonso crashed his Ferrari heavily, resulting in the Spaniard not participating in the session that counted and hence, he will start from dead last spot, probably from the pit lane.
Felipe Massa placed the remaining Ferrari in 4th, beating Lewis Hamilton, Nico Roseberg, again beats Schumacher for 6th spot. Jensen Button having problems all weekend manages 8th spot ahead of veteran Barrichello, who knows this circuit well, placing 9th and finally Vitantonio Liuzzi is able to out-qualify his team mate for the first time for 10th spot.
An interesting set up for the race in this most difficult circuit where passing is near impossible at best, Alonso has a very hard task ahead if he wants to finish in the points and keep up with Vettel and Webber for the lead
