Mark Webber aced Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel for the first time in a 2011 qualifying session, to take his first pole position of the season in Spain on Saturday. Vettel’s sole run in Q3 - done without KERS - yielded him a fastest-of-the-weekend 1m 21.181s, undercutting the 1m 21.961s and 1m 21.996s laps of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, but then Webber slipped in his masterpiece - with KERS - to take the top slot with 1m 20.981s.

Subsequently, Fernando Alonso squeezed his Ferrari between the McLarens, with 1m 21.964s, only three-thousandths off Hamilton.

Mercedes GP boss Ross Brawn believes Michael Schumacher will be back on form in the Spanish Grand Prix following a disappointing race in Turkey.

"I am sure the last race wasn't very joyful, and that is what he was referring to," said Brawn of Schumacher's comments after the Istanbul race, where the German finished down in 12th position after contact with Vitaly Petrov.

"When you have a race like that as any driver it is going to knock you back a bit.

"But I think he is pretty resilient and I am optimistic this weekend he will be back where we want him."

Seven time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi achieved his first major milestone as a Ducati rider by taking a debut Desmosedici podium in Sunday's French Grand Prix at Le Mans.

Ninth on the grid and sixth at the end of the first lap, Rossi spent the first half of the race just behind a battle for fourth between Yamaha's world champion Jorge Lorenzo and Repsol Honda's Andrea Dovizioso.

Just as Rossi passed Dovizioso for fifth, an incident ahead of them between Dani Pedrosa and Marco Simoncelli meant the trio would soon be battling for the final two places on the podium. Rossi rose to the occasion, overtaking Dovizioso and then former team-mate Lorenzo - the 2011 points leader - with four laps to go. But Dovizioso also got past the #1 and later wrestled second place away from Rossi by just 0.35sec.
