Schumacher&#8217;s 1:36.391 was his best qualifying result since returning to F1 in 2010. <\/p>\n<p>Red Bull Racing&#8217;s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel were fourth and sixth fastest, in between Lotus&#8217; Kimi Raikkonen.

The Silverstone-based team though are confident of a better race pace Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our race pace should be better than what we produced in qualifying, so we can still compete. But it is pretty warm in the car,&#8221; said di Resta referring to the hot and humid conditions at the Sepang International Circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Narain Karthikeyan will be seen on the starting grid for the first time in the season after both HRTs lapped within 107 percent of the fastest time. <\/p>\n<p>Karthikyean will start 23rd as Caterham&#8217;s Heikki Kovalainen will drop from 19th to last for a grid penalty incurred at Albert Park last weekend. Pedro de la Rosa will begin the race one place ahead of his Indian teammate. <\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/racing\/lewis-hamilton-and-jenson-button.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"McLaren Racers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" style=\"float: left;
