Rain created an unpredictable qualifying session which has left Jenson Button languishing in 12th place on the grid and teammate Takuma Sato with a lot of work ahead of him in 15th.
Renault's Jarno Trulli claimed his second career pole. Michael Schumacher's Ferrari will start alongside of him in what should prove to be an exciting race.
