Germany's Sebastian Vettel, last year's Formula One championship runner-up, has claimed pole position for Sunday's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

Vettel, who finished the 2009 campaign by winning two of the final three races, grabbed the sixth pole of his 44-race career, leaving the returning Michael Schumacher down in seventh place.

The Red Bull Racing star put in a stunning hot lap in the closing 10-minute qualifying session at the Sakhir circuit to edge out Ferrari duo Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso into second and third, with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton fourth.
