Belgium Saturday quotes: Ferrari

"Apparently everything was okay and so we decided to continue with the second run. Even if it wasn't perfect, it was still good enough to improve and take pole. The balance of the car was good right from this morning. Usually, we are quicker in the race than in qualifying. Tomorrow we will try and do our best to get a good result."

Felipe Massa - 2nd: "It was a good qualifying. My second quick lap in Q3 was perfect right up to the final corner, where I locked my wheels and might have lost just enough time to cost me pole.

"But second place is a good one to start from for the race. I hope to have a good race tomorrow. Here, we are back to being competitive at the highest level and we have a package that can allow us to fight for the win."

Jean Todt: "It was a very exciting and closely contested qualifying session in which, for the first time this season, two Ferraris took the top two places, separated by a very small time difference on what is probably the nicest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar.

"They say a good day coming can be seen from the morning and already yesterday, we saw that we could be competitive and today confirmed that impression. This result was, in part, also due to Shell's technical contribution. Having said that, we have only taken a small step so far this weekend.

"The most important one comes tomorrow when the deciding factors will be the same as ever - strategy, reliability and the work of the team and the driver. Today's great result is particularly satisfying for me and for various reasons, I would be very happy to see it repeated tomorrow."

Luca Baldisserri: "It's great to be back with an all red front row on the grid. Today we were competitive but we are aware that tomorrow we can expect a long hard race against very strong opposition. We have a very good package and significant help from our technical partners, starting with Shell."
