The reigning World Champion from Red Bull will start the first European race of the season ahead of teammate Mark Webber and fellow German, Nico Rosberg from the Mercedes GP Petronas team.
The McLaren of Lewis Hamilton, winner of the previous race secured fourth place while Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso is behind, but ahead of Jenson Button in the other McLaren. Lotus Renault’s Vitaly Petrov made seventh place while Michael Schumacher settled with eighth after showing good performance during practice.
