Williams, Ferrari, Lotus, Sauber, Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren, Force India, Toro Rosso, Caterham, Marussia, Hispania, Pirelli Williams Pastor Maldonado - 1st: "It's an unbelievable feeling winning my first race. The car felt really consistent, was fantastic to drive and our pace was strong throughout. Alonso was chasing me hard but we looked after our tyres well and I managed to open the gap towards the end. The team has worked so hard all year and this win is for them. To be the first Venezuelan to win a Formula One race is a big honour and hopefully I will win more races in the future."

The Sauber F1 Team has got ten more points to its tally thanks to Kamui Kobayashi finishing fifth at the Spanish Grand Prix. The Japanese had to start ninth after an hydraulic problem yesterday prevented him from driving in Q3. He showed a great race performance and exciting overtaking manoeuvres at the Circuit de Catalunya. His team mate, Sergio Perez, who was fifth on the grid, retired from the race due to a transmission problem. The performance of the Sauber C31 proved that the development package was a significant step forward. Kamui Kobayashi: 5th Sauber C31-Ferrari (Chassis 03/Ferrari 056) Start on new soft tyres, after 8 laps change to new hard tyres, after 26 laps new hard tyres and after 41 used hard tyres "The team did a really great job, and the update on our car works very well. The pace in the race was a big improvement compared to the last race. I absolutely believe I could have made it onto the podium today if I had not been so unlucky in qualifying yesterday. If you start ninth you can be happy finishing fifth, but the car had more potential. I was in traffic and overtaking was not easy. I could not do it on the straights with the help of the DRS because there I wasn't close enough. So I had to take some risks and do it in the corners. I damaged my tyres quite a lot in the last stint. The competition is really tight at the moment. If you want to get in front of the pack you have to get everything right on the weekend. This is what Pastor (Maldonado) did. The last time I came fifth was last year in Monaco, and I am very much looking forward to returning to the Principality soon." ( Read more ... ) | |

Williams, Ferrari, Lotus, Sauber, Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, Force India, Toro Rosso, Caterham, Marussia, Hispania, Pirelli Williams Pastor Maldonado - 2nd: "We have been working so hard all year to understand these tyres and with the updates we have brought to this race we have made a very good step forward. The car is very consistent and its race pace is good so I am really looking forward to the race tomorrow. There has been a really positive atmosphere in the team all season and this is a great result for them and Venezuela." ( Read more ... ) | |

For the second time this year both the Sauber F1 Team drivers have made it into the final qualifying session. While Sergio Perez was able to secure his best qualifying result in Formula One so far with sixth in Q3, his team mate Kamui Kobayashi only could witness what was going on from the sidelines. The Japanese finished ninth in Q2, but then was forced to stop on track because of an hydraulic leak. Sergio Perez: Sauber C31-Ferrari (Chassis 04/Ferrari 056) Qualifying: 6th (1:22.533 min in Q3 / new soft tyres) 3rd Practice: 5th (1.23.742 min / new soft tyres / 22 laps) "After the free practice sessions hadn't been so easy for me, in qualifying the car really felt good. I think the result is what we were hoping for and perhaps a little bit better than expected. The competition is so close that a tenth of a second can really make a big difference, and you always think you could go a bit faster. In this regard it is almost frustrating having finished sixth, because a slightly better position was within reach. However, I think we can have a strong race performance. A lot will be down to tyre degradation tomorrow, which is quite high here. I want to do a perfect race and get the maximum possible points, or even come home with a nice surprise."

McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, Lotus, Sauber, Force India, Ferrari, Williams, Toro Rosso, Caterham, Marussia, Hispania, Pirelli McLaren Jenson Button - 1st: "It was a positive afternoon. I did a good lap on the Option tyre, the car is running well, and our upgrades seem to be working. But there are still some improvements to be made. The Option seems to be a bit easier for everyone as it's softer and therefore more receptive to generating temperature. In P2, we also started to find a way to get the Prime to work, but then, later in the session, we couldn't quite get back to that sweet-spot. If we can solve these issues with the Prime and get it into its correct working range, I think we can be quite competitive this weekend. There are a lot of quick cars out there, but, aerodynamically, I think we've got a strong car. We've just got to make sure that we make sure that the four things touching the road are working properly for us too." ( Read more ... ) | |

The Sauber F1 Team enjoyed a productive first day of practice ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. The new aerodynamic update, which had been tested last week at the Mugello circuit, seems to work fine at the Circuit de Catalunya. Kamui Kobayashi came third and ninth respectively in the two 90-minute sessions of free practice on Friday. Sergio Perez was 15th and 12th respectively on the time sheets. Kamui Kobayashi: Sauber C31-Ferrari (Chassis 03/Ferrari 056) 1st Practice: 3rd / 1:24.912 min (28 laps) / 2nd Practice: 9th / 1:24.214 min (41 laps) "It was a good first day here for us. I think my fastest lap time on soft tyres should have been a little bit better, but I wasn't pushing enough on that lap. The long runs looked okay with both the hard and the soft tyre compounds. However, I think for qualifying we should improve the balance of the car. We have had a smooth day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow." ( Read more ... ) | |

The Sauber F1 Team is looking forward to the first European round of the 2012 FIA Formula One World Championship, which will be the Santander Spanish Grand Prix on the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona held from 11th to 13th of May. For all the teams this circuit is the most familiar one of all. Two pre-season tests took place there in February and March. At last week's test in Mugello, Italy, the Sauber C31-Ferrari was equipped with a new aero package which was tested by both the team's racing drivers, Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez. Kamui Kobayashi (car number 14): "At the Mugello test I definitely had the feeling our new update to the car is a step forward for us. This is good, of course, but only at the Barcelona circuit will we be able to tell how much of an improvement it really is. Not only because testing never allows for proper comparisons to the competition, but also because the Circuit de Catalunya is special. It has everything - fast corners, medium speed corners and slow corners. Although everybody knows that track so well, it is very difficult to get the set up right there. But, in turn, if you really manage to get it right there this normally means the car can be fast on other circuits as well. It will be a challenging weekend for us drivers as well as for the car and the engineers, and I am very much looking forward to going racing again." ( Read more ... ) | |

The third and final day of testing held during the season at the Mugello circuit was another productive one for the Sauber F1 Team. With Sergio Perez having taken over the Sauber C31-Ferrari from Kamui Kobayashi, the focus again was on evaluating the new aero parts of the C31 and testing the package for the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix. After the usual installation laps in the morning, Sergio started his programme with some base line running and basic set-up work. Once this was done he continued with aero measurements. While struggling with the car's balance he also went off twice before the lunch break, but without any major damage to the car. ( Read more ... ) | |
