Belgium Saturday quotes: Renault

Vitaly Petrov: "It's a good feeling to qualify in the top 10 again, even though I would like to have finished higher than P10. I will need to sit down with the engineers to discover what happened in Q3 when I spun, but the conditions throughout qualifying were very, very difficult. It was challenging for the team to know which tyres to select because the weather changed more than once in the hour-long session and this really tested us. As a whole, the weekend has been interesting because we've seen several different tyre compounds used, but the most important thing is we came out with both cars in the top 10. It's good to see the team members with smiles on their faces once again!"

James Allison, technical director: "I'm delighted to have both our drivers in the top 10 for tomorrow's race and I'm especially delighted with Bruno's debut qualifying for us in what really were quite difficult conditions. When the lap times are changing that fast and you are not completely sure what level of grip you're going to get at any given corner, then those are obviously very hard conditions. This is especially the case when you've not had time to use the car before the weekend, and when you're at one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar. I'm very pleased for both Bruno and Vitaly, and after a run of uninspiring races I'm hoping that our top 10 qualifying positions translate to strong races for both drivers tomorrow."
