Ericsson: “In Melbourne I demonstrated my abilities”

The eighth place achieved in Australia on the first occasion of 2015 and above all with the Clean, distracted over the weekend by the Van der Garde affair, gave a sigh of relief to Marcus Ericsson until last year constantly dribbling between the penultimate and last position.

“Unfortunately when I was driving the Caterham I was far behind – the Swede told motorsport.com – In cases like this it becomes difficult to demonstrate one's abilities. Behind the wheel of the C34, however, I had a lot of fun and was able to show off my wheel-to-wheel skills. Overall it was a positive weekend for the entire team also thanks to Nasr's fifth place. It was a perfect start and I'm really happy about it, especially because it brought some serenity to the mechanics after the tensions caused by the off-track events. “.
