Fuji 2008: The Grid
Posted on October 11th, 2008 by Oliver White in 2008 Season
Lewis Hamilton took his sixth pole of 2008 and will lead the pack off the grid for tomorrow’s Japanese Grand Prix. This is Kimi Raikkonen’s first front row grid position since the French Grand Prix back in June. This is only the third time Kazuki Nakajima has out-qualified Nico Rosberg this year, the other times being Britain and Spain. It is the second time Scuderia Toro Rosso have got both drivers into the top-ten, and Nick Heidfeld has equalled his worse qualifying position of the season, sixteenth having been previously claimed by the BMW driver in Hungary.
