Esteban Gutierrez: 'Confidence key for qualifying'

Sauber driver Esteban Gutierrez says that confidence will help him to improve his performances during qualifying.

Esteban Gutierrez has said that confidence will be important as he looks to improve his performances during qualifying.

The Sauber rookie has been unable to match the performance of his teammate Nico Hulkenberg in his first six races in Formula 1.

The Mexican told Autosport: "In qualifying, it's a matter of finding a little but more between each run and that's where I need to work.

"There was not a big gap during qualifying [in Spain], just the last run was more than two tenths. It is a challenge to put a perfect lap together, it's a matter of confidence and something that will come with time.

"I am going to work on that in the next few races to try to close the gap. The main pressure comes from myself and the first person that wants a good result is me."

Qualifying for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix takes place tomorrow lunchtime.
