Massa on pole

Aug 23 2008

Felipe Massa will start from pole position around the new Valencia Street Circuit for Sunday's European Grand Prix.

Normal service was resumed in the closing 10-minute blast that is Q3 after Formula One's 'minnows' had threatened a major surprise in the first two sessions as Sebastian Vettel and Jarno Trulli shone.

But Massa took the honours with a lap of one minute 38.989 seconds to edge current championship leader Lewis Hamilton into second by 0.210secs, with BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica back on the pace with third.
