Sauber confirm Ericsson for 2017 F1 season

Marcus Ericsson has signed on for his third season of Formula One racing with Swiss team Sauber.

Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson will continue to race for Sauber next season, the Swiss-based Formula One team said on Monday.

Sauber said in a statement that their second driver, currently Brazilian Felipe Nasr, would be announced 'in due course'.

Ericsson, 26, will be starting his third season with the Ferrari-powered team, who had not scored any points this year until Nasr finished ninth in his home race in Sao Paulo eight days ago.

"We have had ups and downs but we always stick together and work as hard as we can," Ericsson said.

Ericsson's best finish so far this year has been 11th place in Mexico last month.

The season ends in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
