Sauber in speed crisis

Decent Australian season debut for the Clean reached the finish line with both single-seaters but still a little behind in terms of performance.

“I lacked speed today, especially on the straights and that's why I wasn't able to fight with those in front – he considered Esteban Gutierrez, 13° – This will certainly be a point to focus on for the future. For the rest it went well, both cars reached the end and this benefits the reliability issue."

“It was a fun race – he declared Adrian Sutil, 12th – The start was good, but then there were some problems with the engine and I was forced to make an extra stop which made me lose some time. We also changed strategy under the safety car by adopting the one-stop strategy, but it didn't work. In the global championship we weren't fast enough and we narrowly missed out on the points, but we achieved our goal of getting to the checkered flag."
