Schumacher qualifies in the top 3 for the first time since 2006.
Michael seemed to own sector 1 in qualifying, no doubt the F-duct and free use of DRS. With China's 2 long straights, who knows...maybe this track will provide enough top end to overcome their lack of cornering speed and we will see him on the front row, (hopefully) far away from Grosjean
