F1 | Alfa Romeo Sauber, Leclerc: “Frustrating to finish the race like this”

A point won by the skin of their teeth by Alfa Romeo Sauber at COTA. In fact, Ericsson, despite his twelfth position, was classified tenth due to the disqualifications of Ocon and Magnussen. So they can be satisfied in the Hinwil team, less obviously for the retirement of Charles Leclerc, the second in a row after the first lap accident with Grosjean.

“It was a good race as far as I'm concerned – Ericsson said. It was difficult to start with the harder compound, I had difficulty overtaking the others. However, I managed to move up the group: the goal was to get points, so I wasn't satisfied with the original result, seeing as I finished in twelfth position. Our performance this weekend was good, I can't wait to get back on track in Mexico."

“It's frustrating to finish the race like this – Leclerc said. With our potential we could have achieved a good result, especially starting from ninth position. After the accident on the first lap the car was too damaged to be competitive, even after changing the nose and tires we had no performance. So I was forced to retire, too bad. Our car was going strong this weekend, we will bring the good things done here in Mexico to build a good weekend."
