already plans to add more points in its debut season at . The Brazilian pilot, one of the highlights of the Austria GP, last Sunday (29), wants to repeat the dose in the traditional Silverstone circuit, in the GP of England, next weekend. “Marking my first points last weekend was amazing-a result by which the team and I worked so hard since the beginning of the season. But this is just the beginning,” warned the youngest Brazilian to score in the history of F-1, just 20 years old.
In Austria, the Sauber pilot added his first four points in the category when he arrived in eighth place. He was close to finishing seventh, in a direct dispute with Spanish Fernando Alonso, two-time champion of F-1 and his manager. But the overtaking was aborted by the approach of Lando Norris, who had preference to pass because he was the leader of the race – the Briton ended up confirming the victory.
“Now, the focus is on Silverstone and finishing this double round just as we started. We have to keep our heads down, keep working and improve. We are also bringing some new pieces, with which I look forward to familiar. Everything comes down to small steps-this is how we grow and stay in the fight in midfield.” The news has already begun to bring good results to Sauber in the Austrian stage. For the racetrack located in Spielberg, the Swiss team took an update package for their car changes and rear wing changes. As a result, his two riders finished the race in the scoring zone (German Nico Hülkenberg was 9th).
