Four points by Sauber's Pascal Wehrlein for an eighth-place finish in Spain leaves McLaren-Honda as the only Formula 1 team yet to score a single point in 2017.

"We knew Pascal is very talented, which is why we signed him," Sauber F1 team boss Monisha Kaltenborn said. "I have said already that the criticism of him was completely unfair and unprofessional at times, so I wonder what the critics will have to say today."

Wehrlein missed the first two races of the season with a neck injury sustained in the Race of Champions in Miami in January.

Sauber's result is a huge blow for McLaren, as it further compounds the former top team's misery by stranding the Honda-powered outfit in dead last in the lucrative constructors' world championship. McLaren is an eight-time constructors' champion, having last won the title in 1998.

Asked if Sauber can stay ahead in 2017, Kaltenborn said, "I have no idea. But we do not underestimate a strong opponent like McLaren, which is a large and experienced team. They have a lot more resources and people than us, so we take this into account and will continue to work hard all season."
