Belgium Saturday quotes: Toro Rosso

Sebastien Buemi - 11th: "It was not easy this afternoon, because the track dried very quickly after the rain actually stopped falling. Therefore you had to get a good lap at just the right time.

I want to express my sympathy for Michael, a friend and a legend, because he will have a tough time celebrating his twentieth anniversary tomorrow. Secondly, well done to Bruno Senna: seeing a yellow helmet in a black and gold car at Spa is..."
