Sauber had a productive Friday as they ran plenty of laps without any major issues during the first day of practice. In the first session, their focus was on aerodynamic testing while the second session was dedicated to long and short runs.
Marcus Ericsson says that he is happy after the first two practice sessions from Melbourne, finishing 15th in both, stating he feels more comfortable in the car.
"Overall it’s been a positive day for us. During testing in Barcelona we were not completely happy with the balance of the car. After analysing all the data, we have made a step forward as I feel more comfortable in the car here in Melbourne. Today we managed to run a good number of laps on different tyre compounds, so overall it’s been a nice start into the weekend."
However, on the other side of the garage, Pascal Wehrlein was not happy with how his day unfolded as he struggled to find the right set-up.
"I am not fully satisfied with my first practice sessions today. We are still working on finding a suitable set-up for the car, but it was positive that we have gathered some good data in both practice sessions. Now we need to focus on tomorrow in order to reach further improvements."
