A disappointing qualifying for the Sauber F1 Team ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix on the Suzuka Circuit. In the Sauber C35-Ferrari, Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr finished in P19 and P20.
Marcus Ericsson
“It has been a tricky weekend so far. Compared to last weekend in Malaysia, here it has been more challenging to point the car in a direction where I wanted it to be. Therefore, it was rather a difficult qualifying, so we cannot be satisfied with this result. It is a new day tomorrow, and we will fight back.”
Felipe Nasr
“It was a disappointing qualifying for us. My first run in Q1 was good, and I put in a decent lap time. When I went out for the second try I could not bring the tyres up to the ideal working window. In the end I could not improve my lap time. I am very disappointed with this result. We need to understand what happened.”
