Mark Webber pipped his team-mate and reigning champion Sebastian Vettel to the line to grab pole position for today's Korean Grand Prix, ensuring a front-row lockout for Red Bull.
Lewis Hamilton's McLaren will be on the second row, alongside Fernando Alonso of Ferrari, who leads the drivers' championship by four points over Vettel, who came to South Korea on the back of successive victories.
Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus was fifth-fastest, followed by Alonso's Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa. They were ahead of the Lotus of Romain Grosjean and Nico Hulkenberg of Force India.
The Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher rounded out the top 10 at a dry but cool Yeongam.
A notable absentee from the top-10 shootout was McLaren's Jenson Button, who bowed out in the second qualifying session, along with the Sauber duo of Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi, who was third last week in his native Japan.
Vettel was quickest in the final practice and in the first two sessions of qualifying. He appeared set for pole until Webber left it late in the session to steam home in one minute, 37.242 seconds, just 0.074 seconds ahead.
It was the 200th Formula One pole for Red Bull's engine supplier Renault.
