In the closing seconds of the session Romain Grosjean jumped to second on the grid, displacing defending World Champion Sebastian Vettel.

Vettel finished qualifying in third. McLaren’s Jenson Button was fourth, followed by the Lotus of Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari teammates Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.
