Sebastian Vettel was uncatchable in Turkey as the world champion captured his fourth pole of 2011 for Red Bull.
Vettel set his fastest lap of one minute 25.079 seconds and sat in the garage to watch his rivals fail to match him.
Mark Webber joined his team-mate on the front row, 0.405secs behind, with Nico Rosberg third for Mercedes.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton was fourth ahead of Fernando Alonso's Ferrari and his team-mate Jenson Button.
Vettel has looked unstoppable in qualifying all year but this time he knew it as he and Webber opted not to do second runs in qualifying, leaving their rivals to try and fail to better the Red Bull's times.
The world champion had already proved how unshakeable he is as he immediately got up to speed on Saturday after sitting out practice on Friday afternoon because of a heavy crash.
"We were there from the beginning and I am very happy. I like the track, which helps and it was nice to see that after not many laps I was able to find the rhythm," he said.
"Both Mark and myself decided to skip the second run, and it is a strange feeling because the others are on track and there is nothing you can do."
