Sauber driver168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Valtteri Bottas hopes that their lack of performance at the Miami Grand Prix was simply an “outlier” as he fights for his F1 future.

Bottas and teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu di꧂dn’t fare well in Miami as they were both knocked out i🎐n Q1.

Neither driver contended for the points eithe꧋r, with Bottas particul💧arly dropping back from his starting position.

It was a clea😼r step back in performance for the Sauber outfit, which saw both cars make SQ3 in the China sprint.

Bottas was in🍒 content🌞ion for points in the main grand prix in Shanghai before a mechanical issue forced him out of the race.

With both drivers out of co𒈔ntract at the end of the year - and Sauber not wanting to retain either of them - th𒀰ey’re in need of a big result.

Reflecting on Sauber🐼’s display in Miami, Bot🐭tas is hopeful their poor performance was a one-off.

“Of course, the starting position wasn’t the best, so I think𓆉 it was good to try something different. Then, honestly, with that strategy, the timing of the Safety Car was the worst pos🍸sible,” he said.

“I hope this was an outlier. In the last two events we’ve been in a better place. Again, the nex🌌t race [at Imola] is a very different track, so with some new bits on the car then we’ll see again. But it is tight, you know, and small gains can make a big difference.”

Zhou managed to out-race Bottas in Miami, scrapping with the likes of Oscar Piastri in the closing 𝔍laps.

Zhou added: “It was actually not too bad for us [with the Safety Car], but thജe only thing is that we went for softs, so we had almost 30 laps on softs and they fa♏ll off,” he commented.

“Iꦏ think the issue was that we lacked some top speed against Alex and I couldn’t really pass him on the straights, so the who🎃le race was really compromised.”

Zhou revealed that Sauber tried a variety of setups but none of the♐m worked.

“It’s very clear this weekend both cars it’s been a real struggle. We tried to play a lot with different set-ups during Friday and Saturday buಞt both didn’t seem to work,” he added.

“On the other side, I think a lot of the competitors brought upgrades for the last few r🤡aces and we still have similar to what we had a few races ago. I’m sure in Imola we can make a step and𝐆 it’s a question of how much.”
