Marcus Ericsson is looking forward to driving the 2016 Sauber car after completing a pleasing testing programme in Barcelona
The Swedish driver finished fifth fastest with a lap time of 1:25.237, completing 108 laps. It is the final time he will step foot in the C34 in a session, with their new C35 car coming for the second test that begins on 1 March.
After the session, Ericsson described the programme he went through: “It was another positive day. I was able to get a lot of laps under my belt. We got through the planned programme, which was continuation of yesterday. In the morning it was mainly about aero measurements, which is not the most fun for the driver, but very important for the team.
“Later on in the afternoon we again tested different set-up options. I am pleased with my first two days of testing this season. Now I am looking forward to driving the C35 next week.”
Ericsson’s teammate Felipe Nasr will take over testing duties for the team in the final two days of the first test.
