An interesting morning warm-up saw Fernando Alonso slip up and stuff his car into the wall at Massenet. The damage was enough for the Spaniard to miss the afternoon qualifying. His mechanics will work through the evening in order to get the Ferrari ready for tomorrow's race. The uncharacteristic mistake means that Alonso will start from Pit Lane at a track that is notoriously difficult for overtaking.
Both Ferraris had been quick all weekend and Felipe Massa was able to bring his Ferrari to the 3 stage of qualifying. With a lap of 1:14.283 the crafty Brazilian finds himself 4th on the grid 0.457 seconds behind Australian Mark Webber who qualified on the pole.
