Webber takes Monaco pole

Last week's Spanish Grand Prix winner Mark Webber will start the Monaco Grand Prix from pole, after snatching the fastest time in the dying moments of qualifying.

The result means Red Bull remains unbeaten in qualifying in 2010 - but Webber had to dig deep to fend off a huge challenge from Renault's Robert Kubica.

Kubica looked like a strong favourite for a shock pole after continuing his fine practice form, and remains a contender for victory after sealing a front-row start.

Sebastian Vettel took third in the second Red Bull, Felipe Massa, who was Ferrari's only representative in the session following the practice crash that left Fernando Alonso on the sidelines with a damaged chassis.

McLaren had a disappointing session, with Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button back in fifth and eighth, split by the Mercedes. Nico Rosberg beat Michael Schumacher.
