Brazilian Felipe Massa put his Ferrari on pole position for the Turkish Grand Prix on Saturday for the second year in a row.

McLaren's 22-year-old rookie championship leader Lewis Hamilton joined Massa on the front row, with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen lining up third and McLaren's double world champion Fernando Alonso fourth.

Britain's Hamilton leads his Spanish team mate in the championship by seven points with six races remaining. Raikkonen is third, 20 points off the lead, with Massa one point further adrift.

Massa won last year's race in Turkey, in what was also his first grand prix victory, after securing the first pole position of his Formula One career.
