Both Toyotas will start the Bahrain GP from the front row after Italy's Jarno Trulli and Germany's Timo Glock clocked the fastest times in qualifying, followed by China GP winner Sebastian Vettel and the drivers' championship leader Jenson Button.Italian veteran Jarno Trulli took pole position for Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix when he delivered a scorching final lap in Saturday's closely-contested qualifying session at the Sakhir circuit.Trulli, 34, topped the times ahead of his Toyota team-mate German Timo Glock recording a first-ever Toyota front row lockout for his first pole since Japan in in 2005.The Toyota pair will start on the grid ahead of German Sebastian Vettel, winner of last Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix for Red Bull and championship-leading Briton Jenson Button of Brawn GP.For Trulli, it was the fourth pole of his career.Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton was fifth for McLaren Mercedes ahead of Brazilian Rubens Barrichello in the second Brawn, two-times champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Renault and Brazilian Felipe Massa, for Ferrari. German Nico Rosberg was ninth for Williams and Finn Kimi Raikkonen 10th for Ferrari, a result that gives the team a chance of ending their worst start to a season since 1981.Trulli was fastest after the early running in Q3, which had the 2009 rarity value of seeing both Ferraris and a McLaren hunting high grid positions for the race.As always, everyone saved a set of new super-soft tyres for the final flying laps in the last two minutes.
