"Nice to see our Swedish fans getting excited however I suspect their guy is a work in progress so it maybe a while before he gets to race. Hope they have a good day, lunch and so forth."

"Go Marcus, go Sweden!"

"Go Marcus Ericsson!!!! Hopefully the fact that he can't back his career up with heavy sponsors (due to being Swedish) will not become a factor in his future opportunities."

"This is wonderful news for us Swedes! There hasnt been a Swedish driver in F1 since 1991, and to be honest, the only great Swedish F1 driver was Ronnie Peterson who past away at Monza 1978. Ericson is therfore a great hope for out nation. :)"
