Kubica secured the first pole position of his Formula One career as he pipped Brazilian Massa with a time of one minute 33.096 seconds.Felipe Massa has made the running here all weekend, but on Saturday he had to play second fiddle to Robert Kubica as the Pole grabbed the first pole position of his career, and the first for BMW Sauber.
When the chips were down in the final runs of Q3, Lewis Hamilton went to the top with 1m 33.292s for McLaren, but then Kubica banged in 1m 33.096s - even though he said his car was pulling to one side under braking - and when Massa came up short with 1m 33.123s, the dye was set, to the delight of the men from Munich and Hinwil.
Championship leader Hamtilon shares the second row with world champion Kimi Raikkonen in the other Ferrari.
The result means that neither a Ferrari nor McLaren will be on pole position for the first time in a Grand Prix since China in October 2006.
