Sebastian Vettel will start from pole for Sunday's British Grand Prix after crushing his rivals in qualifying, leaving championship leader Jenson Button down in sixth.
Vettel finished nearly four tenths of a second quicker than Rubens Barrichello in his Brackley-built Brawn GP, and Mark Webber who missed out on an all-Red Bull Racing front row by 0.012secs.
As for world champion Lewis Hamilton, who thrilled his fans a year ago with a storming win in the wet, he qualified a career low 19th as his wretched season slipped to a new low.
Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber starts third on the grid ahead of Jarno Trulli's Toyota.
Kazuki Nakajima pulled out a storming lap to start in fifth place and outqualify his Williams team-mate Nico Rosberg, who starts seventh, for the first time this season.
