Sauber drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez confident ahead of Spa – Formula 1 news
Sauber drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez believe that next weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix is going to be the team’s best chance of success in the current season.
Sauber has shown good promise so far in the season with Perez securing two podium finishes in the season. Perez came close to getting his maiden Grand Prix win at the Malaysian GP but narrowly missed out to Fernando Alonso.
Perez has since been trying to repeat his performance and look for a win as well, but has been very up and down in his performances. The team has still managed to perform much better than they did in 2011 and have stated that they are quite content with
their performances in the season so far.
Kobayashi believes that the team has a good chance of improving ahead starting with Spa where he believes the team has a better chance of performing as the team is prepared for any kind of weather conditions.
“I'm confident we can be very competitive under all kinds of conditions in Spa because the characteristics of this track with its fast corners should suit our car,” he said. “I'm really looking forward to this race.”
“I believe the fast circuit in the Ardennes will suit our car,” he said. “We should get everything right there and make sure we start into a productive second part of the season. Last year I qualified ninth there, but retired in the race. In what will be
my second Formula 1 grand prix in Spa I want to at least score points?”
Kobayashi has not been able to perform the way he would have liked to in the season but is confident of improving his results in the remainder of the season.
Perez will also be looking to perform as his name has been linked with Ferrari to replace their struggling driver Felipe Massa although they have said Perez is still inexperienced to join Ferrari but if he can come up with a win in the season his chances
could increase drastically.
It will be interesting to see how the team fares as the season progresses.
