Another Pole for Fernando Alonzo

Fernando Alonso made it back-to-back poles after clinching top spot on the grid for Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix.

Ferrari went into the Italian Grand Prix a fortnight ago without a pole for 29 races, but have suddenly come alive in qualifying with Alonso outgunning Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who will start second, by 0.067 seconds.

The second row of the grid at the Marina Bay street circuit will be an all-British, all-McLaren affair, with Lewis Hamilton edging out team-mate Jenson Button for third place.
Crucially for those four drivers they are all ahead of championship leader Mark Webber in his Red Bull as the top five in the title fight are the top five on the grid for the race.

Behind Webber will be Williams' Rubens Barrichello in a season's high of sixth, followed by Mercedes duo Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher in seventh and ninth.

The German pair sandwich Renault's Robert Kubica in eighth, with Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi completing the top 10.
