Felipe Nasr says he has nothing against team-mate Marcus Ericsson following their collision at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The two Sauber drivers collided at Rascasse as Ericsson attempted to overtake his team-mate, with Nasr having been told to yield over team radio. Nasr says the incident was not a result of any problem with Ericsson, and believes the team has now moved on after internal discussions.
“The thing is the situation where we are we are always going to see the cars pretty close to each other anyway," Nasr said. "So I never had anything against Marcus at all, so you have different cases in different teams but it was just the way it popped out in Monaco.
"It’s a track very difficult to overtake on. I was starting my race from the pit lane because I was starting with an old engine and an engine that was already over-mileage. I was doing my own race when it all happened, but as I said I have nothing against him.”
Asked if he trusts Ericsson in order to be able to race him on track in future, Nasr replied: “I think that’s something that the team has to make sure.
"As team members we have got to keep the word and the attitude inside the team. After everything was said, yes.”
And Nasr doesn't believe the incident will affect his mindset in terms of potentially staying with Sauber beyond this season.
“To be honest I take it very professionally, I don’t mind at all. If the attitude and the word that is given is kept to in a way that we trust each other and we’ve got to be in the same environment then I take it in the best professional way possible.
"I don’t need to be best friends with anyone here, it doesn’t matter if it’s in Sauber or another team. I’m here to do my job the best I can, I’m here to give the team the best results I can give as a racing driver. That’s what I should concentrate on.”
