Red Bull's title contender Sebastian Vettel will start on pole position for tomorrow's Japanese grand prix.
The qualifying session was interrupted three times for red flags after several drivers suffered serious accidents, one of which left Toyota's Timo Glock in hospital with a leg wound.
Vettel was the fastest driver in all three sessions and took pole ahead of Toyota's Jarno Trulli and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. Adrian Sutil was a surprise fourth in the Force India, while Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button will start fifth and seventh respectively.
However, both Brawn drivers set their fastest times in Q2 under yellow flags, which could still result in a penalty.
