Sauber was hoping for more than one point at Singapore

The Sauber F1 Team was hoping for more than a single point from the grueling night race round the streets of Singapore. However, things did not go its way, and it has had to settle for tenth for Sergio Pérez and 14th for Kamui Kobayashi in their Sauber C30-Ferraris.

Sauber hoping crash didn't break Kamui's chassis

Qualifying didn’t go according to plan for the Sauber F1 Team as, while Sergio Pérez just missed out on Q3 and was 11th, Kamui Kobayashi’s Sauber C30-Ferrari literally flew over the kerbs in the chicane in turn 10, and ended up in the wall. This meant the Japanese driver has only qualified 16th for the night race round the streets of Singapore.
