Team Talk - Sunday in Austin

Sauber

Pascal Wehrlein, Marcus Ericsson, Sauber, United States Grand Prix

Marcus Ericsson
"It was a good weekend for us. We could fight with our direct competitors throughout most of the race, and were able to keep up a good pace. Unfortunately, it became difficult to keep that up after having a collision towards the end of the race. Overall, the weekend was positive, and the race was one of my best this year. That's definitely a good step forward, and we have to continue making progress to return stronger in Mexico."

Pascal Wehrlein
"It was a short race for me today. I had to retire after my car was damaged in a collision that took place during the first lap. That was very unfortunate and did not give me a chance to earn a good result. On a positive note, we will be back in our cars in Mexico in just a few days. I hope to have a better race there."

Frédéric Vasseur, team principal
"In comparison to other race weekends, it is positive that we were closer to the competition today. Marcus put in a good performance with a decent pace. It was unfortunate for Pascal that he had to retire the car because of the damaged floor. The next race weekend is just around the corner, as we will be back on track at the Mexican Grand Prix."
