Nico Rosberg won the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday after being unchallenged all race, closing the gap to his team-mate in the drivers standings to just nine points.
Rosberg claimed pole position and the race victory but claims that it was not a straightforward weekend for him, as a lot of work had to be done on the car.
“I am so happy to win here in Spa at this legendary track,” said Rosberg. “It wasn’t an easy weekend for us. We had to work a lot on the set-up – but in the race it was perfect."
“The stints on the medium tyres were really good and I felt really comfortable at the start on the softs too. Our car was really great today, so thank you to the team for all their hard work in getting it spot on."
“It’s great for the team that Lewis was able to recover to finish in third place, so overall a great result for us. Now, it’s only a few days until Monza. The penalties for Lewis made things easier for me today – but he will be back in the battle for the win again next weekend, which will be exciting.”

Very sportsmannish of Rosberg to say this. And I liked how Hamilton asked midrace if Magnussen was ok. A pity that Ferrari had such bad luck once again, this was a great opportunity for them to get some good points. And now Force India overtook Williams, and McLaren overtook Toro Rosso. Pretty sure McLaren would've been able to take ever more points had Button not needed to retire, but it cant be helped, and Alonso was great.
