Qualifying
Fernando Alonso dominated all the qualifying sessions and took the pole by 0.144 seconds, with a final lap time of 1:20.253. Right next to him, completing the first line of the grid, was Kimi Räikkönen.
The second line fo the grid was dominated by Ferrari, with Michael Schumacher in third position, and Felipe Massa in fourth.
Track evolution
As the qualifying session went on, with the track rubbering in, and the drivers testing the limits of the grip of their cars, the times per lap dropped, and all of the drivers that took place in Q2 improved their times in this second session.
The Q3 is the time were all the remaining drivers put all their cards on the table, even those with a superior car who might have been managing their times in Q1 and Q2 push their cars to the limit in Q3. It therefore comes as no surprise that 4 out of the 10 drivers that took place in Q3 were able to improve their times.
