Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix: Sauber Driver and Team Reaction – All the latest from the Sauber F1 team with their drivers and team giving us their thoughts after the Canadian Grand Prix 2016.
Weather: Overcast & Dry
12-13°C air, 21-24°C track
Here you can find out what the Sauber F1 drivers and team principal had to say after the Canadian Grand Prix.
The team is now getting ready to travel to Baku – the capital of Azerbaijan, where they will be getting ready for the European Grand Prix which is taking place next weekend and so far – it looks like it’s going to be a good one!
Marcus Ericsson – Car Number 9
Result: 15th
Start on ultrasoft tyres, after 14 and 39 laps change to soft tyres
“For me it was a good race from the start to the finish. I think the first stint on ultrasoft tyres was not ideal, as I struggled a lot with the grip.“
“Our initial plan was a one stop strategy, but we then had to revert to a two stopper. Once we got onto the soft tyres for the next two stints of the race, I had a good run and was able to pass Kevin (Magnussen) and Pascal (Wehrlein).“
“Overall a good effort, as we also came close to Haas.“
Felipe Nasr – Car Number 12
Result: 18th
Start on ultrasoft tyres, after 9 and 35 laps change to soft tyres
“It was a disappointing race for me. My race start was ok, but then suddenly in Turn 3 I was hit from behind. It was very unfortunate and an unnecessary move.“
“This compromised my race from there on. I tried my best to recover, and in the end I was able to put in decent lap times on the soft tyres.“
“That’s how racing goes sometimes, but now I look forward to Baku. I am always up for new challenges.“
Monisha Kaltenborn – Team Principal
“Starting from these positions is always difficult. Therefore, it was even more important for the team and the drivers to stay focused without making any mistakes.“
“Marcus put in a good performance. It was tough for Felipe after the collision with a Renault.“
We have SO much more coming to the blog very soon so make sure you keep checking back for the latest!
