Sauber’s Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr are hoping that the team’s performance can improve in China this weekend.
The team are currently in tenth place in the Constructors’ Championship, alongside Renault (ninth) and Manor Racing (11th) as a team yet to score a point in 2016.
The drivers reminisced about their previous race in China as well as looking ahead to this year’s event.
Ericsson said: “The Chinese Grand Prix brings back good memories from last season. We had a strong race weekend there, finishing with both cars in the points. I put in a good performance with some nice battles on track. In the end, I saw the chequered flag in P10.”
The Swedish driver finished 12th in the last race in Bahrain and is hoping the team can move forward.
“For this year’s race weekend on the Shanghai International Circuit, I feel confident that we can up our performance from Bahrain and make another step forward there.”
Nasr said: “My first Formula One race weekend at the Shanghai International Circuit was quite positive last year. We improved the car during the whole weekend and, after a top ten qualifying, I finished the race in eighth.”
The Brazilian driver finished 14th in Bahrain and wants to eliminate the problems he suffered with the car in the last race.
“Looking back to the Bahrain Grand Prix about a week ago, I hope that the team was able to sort out the issues I had with the C35. The objective is clearly to be more competitive. I am looking forward to the Chinese Grand Prix as the track characteristics should suit our car.”
