The Red Bull domination carried forward into qualifying and the gap to the rest is well over one second. It will be interesting to see if the two RB6s really pull away from the field at over one second per lap in the early stages of the race, or if Ferrari can present a stornger race pace.
Ferrari also has the opportunity to pull in the points gap to championship leader McLaren, but would liked to have been much closer to the speed of the Red Bull Renault.
Vitaly Petrov starts in a wonderful seventh place and tomorrow he will chase after the best teams in the sport, so despite the lack of surprise there is still a good deal to look forward to tomorrow.
Will Red Bull walk away with the race as well? Join us for all the build-up to the Hungarian Grand Prix from 10:30 GMT.

An anti-climax as Webber struggled on his final effort to hand pole to Vettel after such a great battle throughout the weekend.

Rosberg can't topple the McLaren, while Petrov grabs seventh and Kubica is a disappointing eighth.

10 min: The flag is out but the laps continue ...
10 min: 28.8s for Webber in the first sector - the fastest of all!
9 min: Petrov only takes eighth after a mistake, while a scrappy lap leaves Kubica tenth. Both need a good second lap.
9 min: Webber starts his make-or-break lap ... one shot to beat his team-mate.
9 min: Vettel is the last man out and the destination of the pole will rest on his drive for the line - unless Webber doesn't beat 1m18.773s on the lap he is about to start.

5 min: But is easily able to beat Alonso with a lap of 1m19.184s.
4 min: Webber is quick through both the first and second sectors. He makes a minor error in the penultimate corner ...

4 min: Rosberg is fourth and Hulkenberg fifth so far, behind Alonso, Massa and Hamilton.
