SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Nico Rosberg beat Red Bulls Max Verstappen to pole position by 0.149s on a weekend where he is looking to capitalise on teammate Lewis Hamiltons grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix.Rosberg set the fastest time with a 1:46.744, but the margin to Red Bull and Ferrari was smaller than expected on a day when few drivers improved on their second attempt in Q3. Kimi Raikkonen secured third on the grid for Ferrari, 0.166s off Rosberg, with Sebastian Vettel a further 0.198s off after complaining of a lack of traction out of the final corner.Daniel Ricciardo had to settle for fifth after sailing well wide of the apex on his final attempt and ended up with a 0.323s deficit to teammate Verstappen, who nailed his first attempt in Q3 to the delight of a large crowd of travelling Dutch fans. Force India will line up sixth and seventh ahead of Valtteri Bottas, who was down on power due to an engine software issue in his Williams.Jenson Button qualified eighth in the updated McLaren, proving the progress Honda has made with its engine and turbo updates on a power-sensitive circuit. Felipe Massa rounded out the top ten after suffering from the same software issue as Bottas and locking up into the first corner on his single flying lap in Q3.Rosberg, Raikkonen, Vettel and Ricciardo all set their fastest times in Q2 on the soft compound, meaning they will start on yellow-striped tyres while the rest of the top 10, including Verstappen on the front row, will start on the more delicate super-softs.Romain Grosjean will start 11th on the grid ahead of Kevin Magnussen, who secured Renaults best qualifying position of the season in 12th. Esteban Gutierrez qualified 13th but faces a five-place grid penalty for impeding Pascal Wehrlein in a dangerous manner during final practice. As a result, Jolyon Palmer will be promoted to 13th, his best grid position of the year, Carlos Sainz will start 14th in the Toro Rosso and Wehrlein will move up to 15th in the Manor.Saubers Felipe Nasr missed out on a space in Q2 by 0.048s to Palmer and will start the race ahead of Esteban Ocon, who qualified 18th on his debut and 0.496s off Manor teammate Pascal Wehrlein. Daniil Kvyats run of disappointing qualifying performances continued down in 19th place ahead of Marcus Ericsson, who is due a 10-place grid drop for using his sixth turbocharger of the season this weekend.As expected, Hamilton completed a single lap at a pedestrian pace to ensure he qualified within 107% of the fastest time, as per the regulations, but without burning through any more sets of tyres than necessary.He will be joined on the back row by Fernando Alonso, who has a 35-place grid penalty of his own, but did not set a lap time after exiting the pits and coming to a halt at the top of Eau Rouge. Honda detected an anomaly with his power unit ahead of the session, but believed it was fixed before sending him out on track. Despite failing to set a time within 107%, Alonso is expected to be allowed to start the race based on his previous practice times.Lebron James Shoes Discount .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

The world No 2 found himself eight strokes off the lead at the turn, but went on to fire six birdies along the back nine to card a four-under 68. Although the bogey-free finish takes the Northern Irishman to eight under for the week, McIlroy feels he may have left himself too much to do for a third Desert Classic crown. Highlights from day three of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Golf Club It is going to be a long shot, McIlroy told Sky Sports. I came back from seven shots behind at Wentworth a couple of years ago, so its not out of the realms of possibility.But at the same time, you know, its a great field here, and I need the wind to blow a lot this afternoon and I need to play a front nine tomorrow just like I played the back nine there today. The world No 2 played alongside Oliver Fisher on Saturday Ive played the back nine this week very well, so theres a lot there to sort of take from that.ddddddddddddTheres just a few too many mistakes in there that I need to try and figure out why they are happening.Resuming six shots off the pace at the Emirates GC, McIlroy got off to a strong start by pitching to two feet from the rough at the second for an early birdie, only to give the shot back after missing the green off the tee at the par-three seventh.A double-bogey six at the ninth after finding the hazard left McIlroy two over for the day, but the defending champion bounced back with three gains over the next four holes. McIlroy in action at the Dubai Desert Classic After carding a birdie-two at the 15th, McIlroy picked up another shot at the 17th before finding the par-five final green in two and two-putting for a seventh gain of the day.I just think I havent quite figured out the front nine yet, McIlroy added. The last two days, Ive played the front nine in a combined five over par, and thats just not good enough.There are more chances on the back nine and more opportunities for birdies, but you know, theres no reason why I shouldnt be playing better golf on the front nine. Thats really whats cost me this week, and depending on what the guys do this afternoon, I might be just a few shots too far back to make that up tomorrow.Watch the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic on Sunday live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
