2024 Japanese Grand Prix – Saturday

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

Suzuka, 6 April 2024 – Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber fought for a place in Q3 in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix. In a competitive session in Suzuka, Valtteri Bottas missed out on a place in the top ten by a very small margin, ultimately claiming the 13th spot on the grid for tomorrow’s race. On the other side of the garage, Zhou Guanyu’s preparations for qualifying were hampered by a technical issue in FP3: he did recover well to be in the battle for a place in Q2, but ultimately couldn’t progress and will start tomorrow’s showpiece event in 20th place.
With an upgraded package showing good progress, the team continue to work hard to fight for the points – and will be ready to put up a strong performance in the race.

Alessandro Alunni Bravi - Team Representative

Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber C44 (Chassis 03/Ferrari)
FP3: 15th / 1:31.067 (16 laps) 
Q1: 20th / 1:30.143 (6 laps)  
"Today has been a tough day for me. Unfortunately, due to a technical issue, I missed the end of FP3 and had to go from my long-run practice straight to qualifying. Given the lack of preparation, it was quite difficult for me to predict the car’s behaviour, and while I tried to maximise everything I could, I simply didn’t have enough grip on the rear in the last sector, where I lost out. I believe more time to prepare for my quali run would have put me in a more comfortable position. It's a very tight grid, and while fighting for the points might depend on how much overtaking will be possible, I’m confident that I should be able to make up places. Tomorrow is a new day, and as a team we’ll continue to give it our all.”
