Sauber are content with their season performances so far – Formula 1 news
Sauber has said that they have no regret over their 2012 performances so far.
The team revealed that they have no reason to regret the missed points-scoring opportunities in the season. They have had a much improved season in the season compared to their 2011 campaign and that is enough to be content.
Sauber have been able to secure two podium finishes in the season with the help of Sergio Perez who has had a breakthrough season with the team so far and is looking to secure his maiden victory.
Sauber however know that the team could have done better than they have and some opportunities have slipped through their hands at several races especially Spain and Monaco.
The team understands that they have to do well in the remainder of the season to fight a tight constructors’ championship battle and look to close down the gap to Mercedes while remaining ahead of Williams.
“We got asked similar questions last year, about if we regretted not pursuing the blown diffuser [after slipping down the championship order], but I don't think it will happen this year,” Kaltenborn told AUTOSPORT.
She added that she does not expect anything like that technical situation to come up in the second half of this season. Sauber have been working on the chances, and have been getting them a lot through merit, success will come sooner than later.
Kaltenborn said that the team is very satisfied with the season so far – and they are always looking at the bigger picture. The team has done well after the 2009 setback which led the team to be private again.
“Coming from there, and seeing how step-by-step with two inexperienced drivers we have been going; how the team has with all the limitations it has – both on the personnel and funding side – come up with this kind of competitive car is a good resume which
shows now in the first half of the season,” added the boss of team Sauber.
It will be interesting to see how the team fares as the teams return from the summer break. The first break after the summer break is the Belgian Grand Prix.
