Sauber's Marcus Ericsson hopes that the team can make a step forward in the second half of the season now that the team has found financial stability.
The Swiss team endured a tough start to the season with financial problems meaning the team could not bring many upgrades, or participate in in-season tests but since the takeover by Longbow Finance last month, Ericsson hopes the team can now move forward.
"It feels a lot of people on the grid have done their upgrades they had planned already and maybe they have some small steps for the second half," he told Autosport. "That's what makes me hopeful that we can take bigger steps than other people will do.
"Hopefully for us, we will have some bigger steps with our updates because they are coming later than we expected, and take a bigger jump."
Sauber are so far the only team to not score points in 2016, and Ericsson says that that will be the first target for the team.
"We need to get back in the points, that's very important, especially with Manor scoring," he said. "So that's the first target and hopefully we'll get some new parts on the car that makes us a bit faster and being able to fight for points again."
