Barcelona: Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix yet again showed how much of a difference a few tenths of a second can make. Sauber F1 Team driver Nico H\u00fclkenberg ended up 15th, just five hundredths of a second slower than P13. Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez finished in 16th. On the positive side, the updates the team brought to Barcelona are working as expected.<\/p>\n
Nico H\u00fclkenberg said after the qualifying race that qualifying went according to plan but it was disappointing, as they were simply too slow. \u201cThe updates this weekend were a step in the right direction, and the set up of the car during qualifying was good, but not good enough as the other teams might have improved even more. I am very satisfied with my lap in Q2. It was the perfect lap. We used two sets of mediums in order to try to get a better grid position, but in the end it wasn\u2019t enough, because we were missing pace. Other than that, I think we can be satisfied with what we have done, but we simply need to find more speed,\u201d said Nico.\n<\/p>\n
Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez, said, \u201cQualifying today was tricky. Yesterday and in FP3 this morning I felt quite confident and the laps seemed to be consistent. Overall I think the updates are a good step forward. I could have got more speed out of the last set of tyres, but it\u2019s a delicate position when you are driving on the limit and I tried to get the best out of what we have. I\u2019m not satisfied, as I want to be further in front. We simply need to keep pushing to get more speed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal said: \u201cWe cannot be satisfied with P15 and P16. Especially on a track like this one, it will not be easy to achieve a lot from where we start. Both drivers showed great performances today. This shows we have reduced the gap in qualifying, but still have to improve more.\u201d<\/p>\n
