Pascal Wehrlein enjoyed a fantastic return to the Formula 1 racetrack, as the German escaped Q1 and set a time in Q2 that saw him thirteenth fastest.

Wehrlein produced many memorable performances last season in qualifying, dodging the Q1 drop zone in a Manor that was rather uncompetitive at the back of the field.

Despite missing the opening two rounds in Australia and China due to injury, Wehrlein produced another stunning set of laps to get his car further up the field than his team might have expected.

“I am really happy with P13. I was able to improve from session to session, so overall we can be satisfied with this result today. I am curious about what to expect during the race tomorrow, and I will surely do my best and learn as much as I can, because it will also be my first race for the Sauber F1 Team. I want to thank the Sauber F1 Team as well as Mercedes again for their support, which I have received during my injury lay-off.”
