Sauber suffered another DRS issue after Marcus Ericsson shunt

MONZA, Italy -- Sauber said it suffered another issue with its Drag Reduction System (DRS) after the one which caused Marcus Ericsson's big crash during Friday practice.

Ericsson crashed heavily in the opening moments of FP2 after veering to the left under braking. Replays showed his DRS system stayed open, which would have led to a dramatic reduction in downforce at one of the fastest parts of any circuit on the Formula One calendar.

Ericsson walked away unharmed, something he confirmed via a message on Twitter shortly afterwards.

A MESSAGE FROM MARCUS: Thank you for all your good wishes!
