Sauber have had a very difficult time in recent months due to poor form and low pace in comparison with their competitors. However, driver Esteban Gutierrez is confident that the team will be able to recover from this poor form at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix.
This is one of the most popular races during the F1 calendar and it is also one of the fastest as well. Even though Gutierrez has not scored a point in the last 10 races, he is confident that the team will be able to find out the glitches that have been hampering his progress in the last few weekends.
He had mechanical problems in the final practice session at the recent Hungarian Grand Prix. It has been a very difficult time for Gutierrez since he made the progression from GP2 in the summer. Gutierrez has admitted to the express bet website that qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix was definitely not up to the mark, but he is expecting good progress from the team at the Belgian Grand Prix. He is hoping for at least a 10th place qualifying position for the start of the race. It also happens to be one of his favourite racetracks, which should help him in the qualifying.
“Belgium will be an interesting race with everything we have done to the car during the past few GPs. Obviously, qualifying in Hungary was not good, because of the time we lost in FP3, but I think we can manage to get into the position we were expecting, which is around P10 in Spa-Francorchamps. It is one of the tracks that I enjoy driving the most, because it has a lot of quick corners and it just flows. You can feel the limits of the car at really high speeds,” said Esteban Gutierrez.
