Ericsson ready to "think outside the box" to improve one-lap pace

Sauber's Marcus Ericsson says he's ready to "think outside the box" to improve his speed in qualifying.

Ericsson struggled in last weekend's qualifying and didn't get as good of times as his younger team mate Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc has asserted his dominance at Sauber and now the rookie is Sauber's main man.

His performances have been so impressive, it is reported that Ferrari are very interested in signing the Sauber driver to replace Kimi Raikkonen next season.

Ericsson has complete confidence in himself when it comes to the actual race, he feels as if he needs to improve in the qualifying somehow in order to give himself a better chance for the race.

"I need to find a way to qualify better, that's the key," Ericsson told MotorsportWeek.
