It could have gone anywhere, all top four drivers(two from McLaren and two from Ferrari) were neck and neck, but in the end ,it was the rookie Lewis Hamilton who scored the lucky pole position for the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix. Nick Heidfeld a.k.a. Mr. Dependable put in another solid performance. However the most disappointing session was from the Spykers who were expected to do much better with their new B Spec car and new owners.
