Mark Webber has grabbed the 13th pole position of his career, clocking the fastest lap in qualifying session as Red Bull swept the front row of the grid for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The 37-year-old, who retires from Formula One at the end of the season, edged out newly-crowned quadruple world champion team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
Britain's Lewis Hamilton ended up fourth and will start alongside his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Ferrari-bound Finn Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus was fifth ahead of German Nico Hulkenberg of Sauber with Frenchman Romain Grosjean seventh in the second Lotus.
For Raikkonen it was a satisfying riposte that demonstrated he retains the upper hand in a team riven by controversy following his threat to boycott the last two races this year because he has not been paid.
Vettel can equal Michael Schumacher's record of winning seven straight races in one season on Sunday.
The German won the debut race in Abu Dhabi in 2009 and again in 2010 to clinch his first world title in what was then the season-ender.
