2011 Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix: Saturday qualifying results

Nico Rosberg is upbeat over his chances of recording a strong result in tomorrow’s 44-lap Belgian Grand Prix, explaining that his car is ‘working well in all conditions’ this weekend. The Mercedes GP man starts from fifth on the grid, praising his team for their strong performance in the changeable qualifying conditions this afternoon.

"It was a typical Spa day today, and a difficult situation out there with the conditions changing all the time. Wet, intermediates and dry tyres; we had everything today but we made the most out of it.

"Two cars from the top three teams are starting behind me which is nice to see. The team really got it right with the strategy, and everything that we did worked out well today.

"I'm confident for a good result tomorrow as we set the car up with the race conditions in mind, and the car has also been working well in all conditions."
