Red Bulls Mark Webber will start German Formula One Grand Prix on pole position with McLarens Lewis Hamilton alongside after a superb qualifying lap on Saturday night.Champions Red Bull have now seized pole for the last 11 races, 10 of them this season, but their world champion Sebastian Vettel could only manage third spot on the grid at his home race.A bristling Webber, who ignored team orders not to try to overtake Vettel at Silverstone before very reluctantly relenting, will line up first on the grid for the second straight race and third time this year.Ferraris Fernando Alonso, winner in Britain earlier this month, qualified fourth, the Spaniard finishing a place ahead of Brazilian teammate Felipe Massa.
