Canada Saturday quotes: Sauber

Kamui Kobayashi - 18th: "We are having a hard weekend here. Our overall performance is not where we were in Turkey. I had big problems with warming up the tyres. I just didn't get them to work and this made it impossible to exploit any of the car's potential. The fact I had traffic on my last lap didn't help either. I knew today's qualifying would be difficult, but still didn't expect it to be that bad. However, tomorrow is race day and I hope to get a chance to improve."

Peter Sauber, Team Principal: "It has been a difficult weekend right from the beginning, and I don't think we were able to exploit the full potential of the car."

James Key, Technical Director: "It was a disappointing qualifying session. I think we could have gone a little bit further, but Q3 was definitely out of reach today. In Q1 Kamui was held up a bit on his last run and, as a result, couldn't improve his position. Both drivers suffered from a lack of grip today, and the balance of the cars seemed to be quite different this afternoon to this morning, which caught us out a bit. They were limited in a different way. We needed to rebalance the cars during the qualifying session. Ultimately I think it's far from ideal where we are, and we need to have a clean race tomorrow and a sensible strategy to bring both cars home and hope for the best."
