Sauber Technical Director James Key believes his team will be able to bounce back after a difficult race in Hungary, with drivers Kamui Kobyashi and Sergio Pérez unable to score any points. Key believes the lower downforce nature of Spa-Francorchamps should suit the C30, with upgrades planned in a bid to move further up the order.
"We’re looking forward to getting into the next part of the season and going to Spa, which requires a medium to low downforce level," Key explained. "To date it will be the lowest downforce level the teams have run, but a lot will depend on the weather conditions, because they are very unpredictable.
"As always in Spa, we have to monitor the weather closely over the weekend. The circuit itself is very popular with the drivers, and a great place to engineer a car. The track is primarily high speed with long straights and well known corners. This should suit our car reasonably well.
"The Pirelli tyres are the Soft and the Medium compounds. We know from Silverstone that the Soft tyre works well with the high speed corners, but we have some work to do with the Medium compound. The car will have updates to the front wing and a new rear wing which is Spa specific. After a difficult race in Hungary we’re hopeful of a better performance in Belgium."
