Ericsson, Nasr and Kaltenborn react to Sauber's qualifying

Marcus Ericsson was disappointed with his performance in Austria today, qualifying 12th, although penalties will see him start 11th.

“It is disappointing that my lap time was not good enough at the end of Q2, although I felt comfortable in the car and the team made the right calls. The conditions were difficult today, but this was the same for everyone. Nevertheless, it is still a good starting position for the race.”

However, his teammate Felipe Nasr is pleased with his performance, as he made it to Q3 and will start the Austrian Grand Prix from 8th place.

“It was a great qualifying for us. Since the first free pactice we have gone in the right direction and saw that our car was competitive. The conditions were not easy today, but everyone in the team did a good job and put everything together. It is a satisfying starting position for the race, and I am confident about fighting for points.”

Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn commented on her drivers' and teams' performance.

“It was a good qualifying for us here in Spielberg. Both drivers were satisfied with the balance of the car in the practice sessions. Felipe and Marcus both showed strong performances in qualifying, and they will also move up one position each on the starting grid. It looks promising for the race.”
