French Grand Prix
Race: 22 June, 1300 BST Coverage: Radio 5 Live and BBC Sport website
Ferrari pair Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa will start the French Grand Prix from the front row after dominating qualifying at Magny-Cours.
Finn Raikkonen secured pole position with a lap of one minute, 16.449 seconds, with Massa 0.041secs behind.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, demoted 10 places after a pit-lane crash in Montreal, will start from 13th after finishing third in a time of 1:16.693.
Renault's Fernando Alonso and Toyota's Jarno Trulli will share the second row.
McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen starts in fifth just ahead of drivers' championship leader Robert Kubica.
The BMW Saubers struggled for pace at the Circuit de Nevers with Kubica's team-mate Nick Heidfeld only narrowly avoiding being dumped out in qualifying one, before having to settle for 11th on the grid.
The Red Bulls of Mark Webber and David Coulthard delivered another consistent performance to start in seventh and eighth ahead of Toyota's Timo Glock and Renault's Nelson Piquet.
The Ferrari duo were fastest through all three sessions and duly completed their third front row sweep of the season as Raikkonen secured his 16th pole.
After slipping back to fourth in the drivers' standings, Raikkonen's performance in qualifying gives him a good chance to get his title defence back on track in France.
"The main thing is to be fastest in the end and that worked out well for us," said Raikkonen.
"We had good speed all weekend and the car has been working really well, but tomorrow is the one we need to win because we need some points."
Hamilton was also targeting some points on French soil after losing his world-championship lead to Kubica in Canada last time out.
The 23-year-old went into qualifying with a 10-place grid penalty after his pit-lane collision with Raikkonen in Montreal.
And Hamilton admitted an error, where he twice skidded off the track at the same point, lost him vital grid places.
"It's quite disappointing," said Hamilton. "I have to apologise to the team because I didn't do a great job.
"I went wide at Turn Seven twice and lost time. I was pushing and trying to get the best out of the car.
"But we will do our best on Sunday. Rules are rules, we will take the penalty on the chin and just make sure it doesn't happen again."
It was also a difficult day for Williams, who saw Kazuki Nakajima fail to get through first qualifying and Nico Rosberg qualify in 15th.
However, Rosberg will start from the back of the grid after he was also handed a 10-place penalty in Montreal for his part in the pit-lane incident.
It was also a dismal day for Honda, with Jenson Button finishing in 17th just ahead of team-mate Rubens Barrichello.
"It's disappointing and a little bit unexpected," said Button. "We are getting the maximum out of the car and that's just the way it is.
