‘A Special Weekend With a Great Atmosphere’:

Toto’s Italian GP Preview

It was a hectic start to the final 10 races of the season after an incident-packed Dutch Grand Prix last weekend, and now the attention moves to the most visited circuit in F1 history.

Despite only recording a P4 finish and picking up 12 championship points, the team was able to close the gap to Ferrari in the battle for P2 in the Constructors’ standings.

“We head to Monza aiming for a more consistent and straightforward weekend than at Zandvoort,” said Toto.

“At times, we looked to have decent pace that would enable us to fight for the podium.

“Despite starting P11, Kimi progressed through the field well and, were it not for the contact with Leclerc, would likely have been challenging those ahead in the closing stages.

“For George, his race was also compromised by an incident with the Ferrari. He did a good job to bring solid points home in P4 despite carrying significant floor damage.”

Now, the team moves on to one of the most electric and high-energy weekends of the season.

Having been on every single calendar since our sport’s inception in 1950, the Italian Grand Prix brings with it a feeling of history like few other events can.

This year, for the first time in 70 years, the three-pointed star will have an Italian at the wheel at Monza.

Toto said: “The Italian Grand Prix is a special weekend with a great atmosphere.”

“For Kimi it is a second home race of the season. Whilst that will be exciting for him, we know his focus will be 100 per cent on doing the job on track.”

With tight margins up and down the grid, Toto knows there can be little or no room for error this weekend, and at the following eight races to close out the 2025 season.

“The competitive order behind McLaren is close and we will have to be at our best if we are to continue closing the gap to second in the Constructors',” said Toto.
