Sauber's Marcus Ericsson has spoken out about his short Bahrain qualifying session, believing that he was unable to push the car to its limit, but also that he felt better in the C36 on Saturday than he did on Friday. He lines up in P19 on the grid for the Grand Prix.
"It was a disappointing qualifying for me being out after Q1," he said. "I did not get the maximum out of the car, but that's how it goes sometimes. Nevertheless, today I felt more comfortable in the car compared to the practice sessions on Friday. The long runs were looking OK, so I hope I can fight back tomorrow."
Ericsson found himself marginally quicker than temporary driver Antonio Giovinazzi in both Australia and China, but was outpaced in qualifying by returning regular partner Pascal Wehrlein, who hauled his own car to an impressive 13th on the grid.
