Bruno Senna took pole position in the most dramatic way possible this afternoon in Magny Cours by crossing the line a fraction of a second before hitting the wall heavily after bouncing over the kerbs in the final complex, claiming the top spot fractionally ahead of Romain Grosjean and Giorgio Pantano.
The Brazilian's final lap time of 1:22.250s was just 0.037 ahead of Grosjean, who in turn beat the Italian by just 0.014 in one of the most frantic qualifying sessions ever seen in the series.
The top three drivers alternated at the top of the timesheets throughout a scorchingly hot session: with temperatures soaring compared to this morning's free practice there was little to separate most of the drivers, 17 of whom ultimately lapped within a second of the eventual pole time.
