Valtteri Bottas and
Zhou Guanyu have called on Kick Sauber
to make rapid improvements in the pit lane after further problems compromised
their efforts at the Australian Grand Prix.
Following similar wheel gun-related incidents at the opening
two rounds in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, the Kick Sauber crew were caught out
once more in Melbourne as delayed tyre changes cost their drivers valuable
time.

For Bottas, a particularly delayed stop of around 30 seconds
– which kept him in the pit lane for more than three quarters of a minute –
ended his chances of scoring a valuable points finish for the Swiss operation.
Speaking after the race, Bottas highlighted the issue as one
“we need to keep working on” if Kick Sauber are to compete with their rivals
for prizes at upcoming races.
