Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel has taken pole position for the Japanese Formula One Grand Prix. On an incident-strewn day of several crashes, Vettel won pole with a time of 1 minute, 32.16 seconds.
Toyota's Jarno Trulli will start from second place in Sunday's race, with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Force India's Adrian Sutil occupying the second row.
Meanwhile, the clash between championship leaders Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello has attracted the closest attention. In order to claim the overall championship win Button needs to earn five points more than his chaser.
Barrichello appears to be winning this duel so far. On Sunday, he will start fifth with his Brawn GP teammate two places below him.
