The Sauber F1 Team finished an exciting qualifying ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in P16 (Felipe Nasr) and P20 (Marcus Ericsson). Due to heavy rain, the qualifying was delayed (14:20 hrs, CEST) and had to be interrupted four times in Q1 because of the difficult conditions. Felipe Nasr put in a good performance, especially in the wet conditions in Q1. Marcus Ericsson made a mistake and hit the barriers. The chassis at his Sauber C35-Ferrari needs to be changed, which means that Ericsson will start the Hungarian Grand Prix from the pit lane.

Marcus Ericsson: "It was a very disappointing qualifying for me. The conditions were quite tricky with lots of standing water, but that was the same for everyone. I lost the car, so in the end it was my mistake and the session was quickly over for me. I should have done better. I apologise to the team for the work load I have caused them. I will fight back tomorrow."

Felipe Nasr: "That was an eventful qualifying. We were all surprised that the rain arrived before the session started. I think I extracted the most out of the car today. To be honest, I was happy to see us temporarily in P1 at the end of Q1 in the wet conditions. Unfortunately when the track started to dry and we changed to supersoft tyres, I could not improve my last lap as this run was a bit compromised by traffic. Nevertheless, it was a good qualifying for me, one that I will remember."
