Spanish GP: Sauber qualifying quotes

Esteban Gutierrez - 16th: "Qualifying today was tricky. Yesterday and in FP3 this morning I felt quite confident and the laps seemed to be consistent. Overall I think the updates are a good step forward. I could have got more speed out of the last set of tyres, but it's a delicate position when you are driving on the limit and I tried to get the best out of what we have. I'm not satisfied, as I want to be further in front. We simply need to keep pushing to get more speed."

Monisha Kaltenborn, team principal: "We cannot be satisfied with P15 and P16. Especially on a track like this one, it will not be easy to achieve a lot from where we start. Both drivers showed great performances today. This shows we have reduced the gap in qualifying, but still have to improve more."

Tom McCullough, head of track engineering: "Yet another tight qualifying session where a few tenths move you a long way up the grid. We can take positives from the fact that all the updated parts on the car are working as intended. Both drivers drove well during both sessions. Tyre management will be key tomorrow in the race. So along with that and the strategy we'll now look at the best way to move ourselves forward from where we are starting."
