Mark Webber finally ended Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel's run of poles as he clinched top spot on the grid for tomorrow's Spanish Grand Prix.

After five in a row for the reigning world champion, Vettel had to settle for second behind Australian Webber, who grabbed the seventh pole of his career and his first since last year's race in Belgium.

It is Red Bull's second successive all-front row start after Vettel spearheaded the grid in Turkey a fortnight ago, with the duo on this occasion split by just 0.200secs.

Webber finished a second clear of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, with home hero Fernando Alonso giving his fans something to cheer when he snatched fourth spot at the death from Jenson Button.
