BARCELONA (AFP) - Australian Mark Webber grabbed his first pole position of the season and seventh of his career on Saturday after clocking the fastest time during qualifying for todays (Sunday) Spanish Grand Prix. The 34-year-old Red Bull driver, winner of last years race, clocked a time of one minute 20.981 at the Circuit de Catalunya, just 0.2 seconds faster than his team-mate German Sebastian Vettel. Webber admitted that he didnt feel challenged by rival teams McLaren and Ferrari, but was delighted to have beaten his 23-year-old team-mate - who has been on pole position at every other race this season. It was clear that there might have been a bit of a margin between us and them said Webber, who is fourth in the world championship with 37 points, 31 behind Vettel. It was a good battle with Seb, I though we were going to be battling for pole so I just had to make sure I did a good lap and then pray that my time went above Sebs. Vettel congratulated Webber on ending his run of pole placings which had seen him become the first driver since Mika Hakkinen in 1999 to take the first four poles of the season. I didnt use KERS in Q2 and Q3, but its not right to say I didnt have KERS and Mark got pole - he deserved pole, said Vettel. Despite being almost a second off Webbers time, just 0.03 seconds separated third-placed Briton Lewis Hamilton from his McLaren team-mate and fellow Englishman Jenson Button, who was fifth. Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari split the two McLarens pipping Button to fourth place in his final lap of the session. German Nico Rosberg of Mercedes was sixth fastest followed by Brazilian Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari.
