SAUBER
9 MARCUS ERICSSON
Had a very strong weekend in Mexico, recovering from sitting out FP1 to lead the way for Sauber. Grid penalties for others meant he started artificially high, but put it to brilliant use and was strong enough on the main straight to keep cars behind. VSC timing had cost him a points shot even before the engine let him down.
6 PASCAL WEHRLEIN
Was giving away a little pace to Ericsson in qualifying, and that proved very costly in the race as he ended up on the more unusual strategy thanks to weaker track position. Finishing 20 seconds behind Gasly wasn’t ideal, although part of that was down to his marathon stint on softs. The second Sauber driver this weekend.
