'We need to execute a clean, reliable weekend' - Toto's Hungarian GP Preview

The Belgium Grand Prix was bittersweet for the team - a superb win for Kimi, but a painful weekend for George.

Now, attention turns to Budapest and the Hungarian GP - the last race before the summer break.

"We have shown at every race so far that the performance is there," Toto says.

"We have not converted enough of that potential into results though. We have lost points through self-inflicted issues, and we know we need to improve.

"The team is working flat out to understand the problems, fix them, and ensure we are giving both drivers the tools they need to maximise every weekend.

"Hungary presents a different challenge to the circuits we have raced at recently. Silverstone and Spa are more energy-limited tracks; Budapest is much more energy-rich, which changes some of the demands on the car and the way you approach the weekend.

"As always, the field is competitive, and small details will make the difference.

"Our objective is straightforward: execute a clean, reliable weekend, and score the points that the car is capable of achieving before we head into the summer break."
