F1 | Alfa Romeo Sauber, Ericsson: “If we improve in qualifying, we can have great races”

He had already reported it Charles Leclerc in recent days, he also reiterated it Marcus Ericsson: to take a decisive step forward, theAlfa Romeo Sauber he needs to improve his performance in qualifying, i.e. when the car is empty of fuel. It is no coincidence, in fact, that in these first four GPs the Italian-Swiss team only managed to reach Q2 on one occasion, with Leclerc in Azerbaijan: "It's clear that we are fighting more on the flying lap than on the race pace. We are still struggling with the softer compounds" – declared the Swedish driver, who, unlike his teammate, has just returned from a less than happy weekend in Baku.

On the other hand, as demonstrated in Bahrain by Ericsson himself and in Baku by Leclerc, the potential in the race is good: “I'm really confident that if we get a good starting position, so that we start mid-table, we can have great races" – continued the 27-year-old former Caterham player. “Obviously in this period we need a good starting position. We have to work hard and analyze how to take a step forward on Saturday.".
