Formula One returns this week with Montreal being the latest host. Sergio Perez remains out of action for tomorrow's race, so Pedro De La Rosa deputised in qualifying for the Sauber team. There was no real drama in Q1 apart from Liuzzi spinning out onto the grass but it didn't cause any disruption and the Hispania had already made a competitive time. D'Ambrosio is the only possible faller from the 107% rule but I'm pretty sure he'll be allowed to race. Glock became the meat in the Hispania sandwich, qualifying 22nd ahead of Karthikeyan and behind Liuzzi. Jarno Trulli out-qualified his Lotus team-mate Kovalainen for the first time this season in nineteenth and twentieth. The 'one' to fall from Q1 was the under pressure Alguersuari who suffered a lot of under-steer during the session. Alonso was the fastest in Q1.
Q2 saw De La Rosa finish seventeenth after a near miss of the wall in Q1, there was sparks as contact was made but the car was able to carry on. Barrichello will start sixteenth behind Buemi and Sutil. Kobayashi will start thirteenth in the other Sauber with Maldonado twelfth and Di Resta just missed out on Q3. Massa was the fastest in Q2 in the other Ferrari.
The two Renualts will start ninth and tenth with Heidfeld ahead of Petrov. Button is the meat in the Mercedes sandwich with Schumacher eighth and Rosberg sixth. McLaren looked well off the pace as Hamilton will start fifth. Webber is fourth behind the two Ferraris with Alonso in second, meaning that Sebastian Vettel will start from Pole for the sixth race out of seven.
