Nico Hulkenberg: Our new products are working!

      Sauber is pleased with the results of Friday – the training sessions were held without problems, the prepared new products gave the desired effect.…

      Nico Hulkenberg (12th): "Overall, a good Friday. There were no problems during the sessions, although it was the first time this year that we worked in such hot conditions. The car was fine from the very beginning, our novelties worked – the balance immediately improved, I immediately felt more comfortable.

      In the evening, we will analyze everything, refine the settings and look for an opportunity to add more. In the middle group of teams, the results are solid, every tenth counts. The fight in qualifying will be intense."

         Gabriel Bortoleto (17th): "It was a fairly simple Friday: we completed the entire program without any problems, which is always a positive start to the weekend. I used the same aerodynamic body kit as in previous races, and Nico worked with the new ones. Apparently, they are working, which is encouraging.

      The results are traditionally dense. Hopefully, the new parts and clean qualifying laps will help us achieve more from the car."
