In a hectic qualifying session it looked like Michael Schumacher was on pole until a last minute 'accident' by the German stopped anyone from improving. The stewards on other hand found he "deliberately blocked the track" meaning Fernando Alonso now starts from pole.

Michael was sent to the back of the grid, where Felipe Massa is also due to start after his qualifying accident. Giancarlo Fisichella was also demoted a couple of places, losing his three fastest times due to blocking Red Bull Racing's David Coulthard, Fisichella therefore will start ninth.
