Sauber is facing ongoing pitstop issues that have significantly impacted its performance this season. It is unlikely that a definitive solution will be found for at least the next three or four races, meaning the team’s results will continue to be compromised. These problems have been caused by cross-threaded wheelnuts on the front-left corner, leading to significant delays during pitstops. In the first race in Australia, Valtteri Bottas experienced a delay of almost half a minute, resulting in a missed opportunity for valuable points. The team’s attempts to address the issue during the Australian Grand Prix weekend were not successful, as Sauber remained the slowest team during tyre changes. Despite implementing countermeasures, the team’s pitstop times were still far from optimal. Sauber will continue to use these countermeasures in upcoming races while exploring additional modifications. The necessary changes involve external suppliers and will take time to produce. The team is unable to revert to previous parts due to the compatibility issues with the revised front suspension. It is crucial for Sauber to find a resolution soon to avoid further setbacks and improve its performance on the track.
