SAO PAULO, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, driving a Ferrari, won the pole Satuday for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.
Barrichello circled the 2.677-mile circuit in one minute, 10.646 seconds to earn his fourth pole of the season and 13th of his F1 career.
Starting alongside Barrichello will be Juan Montoya of Columbia who turned in a time of 1:10.850. McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen (1:10.892) and Felipe Massa (1:10.922) will start in row two.
Michael Schumacher, the 2004 F1 champion, qualified eighth quickest, but will start 18th on the grid due to a final practice crash which forced Ferrari to change engines.
The German lost control on the entry to a turn and slammed backwards into a barrier. The car caught fire after the impact, but he climbed out unhurt after officials put out the fire.
