Marcus Ericsson expressed his disappointment of missing out on a points finish at the British Grand Prix.
The Swede came home in eleventh place, behind McLaren’s Fernando Alonso. Ericsson made four pit-stops which was the main reason the Sauber driver failed to score.
“It is disappointing to miss out on points when we had it in the bag for quite a long time. The first half of the race was reasonable. I had a good start, gaining some positions on lap one. My pace was good, so I was able to keep up with our direct competitors.”
Ericsson admitted it was a difficult call whether to pit for intermediate tyres.
”It was one of those days when it was difficult to make predictions, as it started to rain on some parts of the track and others were still dry. It was not an easy situation, either for the drivers or for the team. Unfortunately, we made too many pit stops today. We need to sit down and analayse what we could have done differently.”
