Sebastian Vettel is happy with a second place on the grid of the Belgian Grand Prix of Sunday, despite the German losing out on pole to Lewis Hamilton on the last second of it all.
It was one of the craziest qualifying sessions in recent memory, with the last minute being so jam-packed with things that it was hard to keep up at times. For Vettel, not much changed though, as he'll be on the front row of qualifying.
"There was confusion," Vettel admitted to David Coulthard, referring to the rain that suddenly started to fall.
"And maybe I wasn't as calm as l could have been in the car.
"We didn't time it great, but in these conditions anything can happen.

"Tomorrow we have good pace for the race so I'm looking forward to that."
Ferrari will have the quickest car, but being quickest on paper isn't always enough, Hamilton proved today. Vettel will need to attack early, if he wants to get the win tomorrow. Get ready for a classic race!
