Manor Racing Director Dave Ryan believes that keeping Sauber behind them in the constructer standings is a tough task.
Pascal Wehrlein scored a point at Austria, while Sauber have of yet failed to score at all. However after investors bought Sauber, Ryan believes that the team will get closer to the points now that they can develop their cars.
"First of all, what’s happened to Sauber is fantastic for Formula 1."
“They’ve been around a long time, and had worked hard to get to where they were. Obviously, they’ve fallen back a bit at the moment. In overall terms for Formula 1, it’s good news. For us, it’s just made another team potentially competitive, and made our job harder. We’ve got a point and we have to try and keep that point over and above them for the rest of the year.”
Ryan also confirmed that the team would be bringing updates to their car over the next few races, but that their primary focus is on the 2017 car.
"We’ve got small developments – which have been in the wind tunnel and are in the system now – coming through over the next two to three races, so we do have little upgrades, and hopefully good upgrades.”
“We think we’ve got the balance right, 2017 is incredibly important, and time lost on developing the 2017 concept now would really hurt for next year. There would be a time difference on the clock if you don’t put effort into that car."
