Scott Dixson fron new Zealand took pole position with an average speed of 232.164mph...
"I think the car was better than yesterday" said Alonso...
"We had an over-boost problem (with the turbocharger) in the final corner, so the engine was like hitting the brakes and I lost a bit."...
He went into Instagram after his engine was changed for the final run and wrote, "With everything that has happened today being among top five is a dream...
"Fifteen day ago I would never have thought about fighting for the pole. Thanks to the whole team. Now another week of learning and race next weekend."...
