2024 Australian Grand Prix – Sunday

KICK Sauber F1 Team C44 (Chassis 02/Ferrari)
Race result: 14th
Fastest lap: 1:21.422 (Lap 48)
Strategy & Pit Stops: Start (Used Medium) – Lap 8 (Used Hard) – Lap 36 (New Hard)

“It’s never great to see a good race come to nothing: it’s frustrating as, until the pit stop, things were going really well. We had a good start, most importantly we had strong pace and we should have got points. It’s obvious that we still have to work to solve the issues affecting us: what we have done so far has reduced the incidence a lot, but the risk is still there – as we have seen today. There’s an element of bad luck there, and there’s nothing the pit crew could have done differently, it’s a technical issue that needs to be solved. We can still find some positives – our performance is improving, we have made a step forward with the upgrades the team has brought and we should have been in the points. We were fighting with Fernando in the opening stages, and I believe P8 or P9 would have been within reach. We keep working hard: there will be more upgrades coming soon and I think we can make an even bigger step in Japan.”

KICK Sauber F1 Team C44 (Chassis 03/Ferrari)
Race result: 15th
Fastest lap: 1:21.327 (Lap 49)
Strategy & Pit Stops: Start (New Soft) – Lap 6 (Used Hard) – Lap 35 (New Hard)

"This weekend was a difficult one. Starting from the pit lane is always tricky, and being stuck in a DRS train made it difficult for me to overtake. There were some points up for grabs for the team today, but, unfortunately, we did not manage to be up there, fighting for them. During my second pit stop, I experienced an issue, outside of my control, related to my gearbox – when I called for the gear, the car stalled which cost me plenty of time. Overall, our race pace continued to look quite strong and competitive with the teams around us. It’s been a lost opportunity, but as a team, we’ll continue our work to bounce back in Suzuka.”
