KIMI Raikkonen snatched pole position from Fernando Alonso in the dying moments of a remarkable qualifying session for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.
Alonso stunned and thrilled his home crowd at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya when he sat on provisional pole in his Enstone-built Renault after the clock had counted down to zero.
But world champion Raikkonen, the only man on track behind him, became the fourth different driver in four races this season to snatch pole ahead of the 66-lap race.
Raikkonen's Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa and the BMW Sauber of Robert Kubica are on the second row of the grid, with Lewis Hamilton a lowly fifth - his worst position of the season.
Hamilton has McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen behind him in sixth, with the Red Bull of Mark Webber seventh and Jarno Trulli eighth in his Toyota.
BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld is ninth, with the second Renault of Nelson Piquet in the top ten for the first time this season.
Brackley-based Honda's Rubens Barrichello will start from 11th, followed by the Grove-built Williams of Kazuki Nakajima and the second Honda of Jenson Button.
