I am Frederic Vasseur. I am the CEO and Team Principal of Sauber.
Two years ago, Sauber was in big trouble.
I think the last six or eight months, we are improving.
But the next races will be very important for Sauber.
And then we will see what are the driver options for '19.
I drove there in 2010.
You were probably in go-karts or something.
A kid.
What were you, 10 years old?
It's not up to me.
That's about it.
Not my decision in the end, so…
Great race, Charles. P6 at the end. Fantastic drive. Good job.
Ah, fuck!
Sorry. Sorry for the bad word.
Radio check.
Radio check, Charles.
Copy. Loud and clear.
Glad it's nice weather. It wouldn't have been the same otherwise.
Okay, Pierre. P6.
P4. P4. Fantastic. This is amazing.
Unbelievable! Unbelievable.
P9. Well-bloody-well done!
Thanks.
Okay, Marcus. Radio check.
Yeah. Right here.
Okay.
Go for it.
You okay?
No idea what happened.
Marcus is okay, he went to the medical center.
For sure he was first a bit disappointed, and also bit shocked.
Let's go for a bath.
And when I go up from the bath,
make sure the cameras are focusing on the right areas, yeah?
The weapon is not very big at the moment.
The race is going to be tough on everyone.
Everyone will overheat, cars and bodies.
I think I started the weekend two kilos heavier than I am now already.
I will lose quite a bit again for the race.
Find the limit, stay at the limit, you can do it.
Yeah, I got overtaken.
Yeah, copy.
Gasly ahead.
Good job Pierre, good job. Keep going.
Behind you, there is Leclerc and Ericsson.
Okay, Marcus, you're doing good. Keep pushing.
Push more if you can, put some pressure on Gasly ahead.
Gasly ahead seems to struggle with the tires.
Push, Pierre. Push.
Well done, Charles, good job.
Tires are completely gone.
Box, box, Pierre.
Okay, Marcus, you're doing well.
We are P8 at the moment. Keep pushing.
My tires are gone.
Box, box, box.
Ahead of you is Hülkenberg. Hülkenberg is now ten seconds ahead.
Sixteen laps to go. Go for it.
That's eight seconds to Hülkenberg, eight seconds.
Okay, Marcus, Hülkenberg is now seven seconds ahead.
You are a second a lap quicker than Hülkenberg. You can do it.
Copy.
Hülkenberg is now six second ahead.
Okay, Hülkenberg, five seconds ahead.
Copy. Push.
Seven laps to go, push, push, push.
Five laps to go.
Four laps to go
Three laps to go.
Two laps to go, keep pushing.
Last lap, last lap. Maximum attack now.
Okay, Marcus, that's it.
P11.
-Yeah, thank you. -Thank you, buddy.
Okay, Charles, that's it. P9 at the end.
Excellent race again.
Thank you. Very good race.
Okay, Pierre. P13, P13.
Marcus?
How do you feel?
It's a pity.
-It was close. -It was close.
So close.
So far away.
Do deserve a sandwich, though.
And maybe a drink later, but don't tell anyone.
So, yeah, I cannot believe it. It's incredible.
