Back-to-back victories in Monza and Madrid bought home valuable points for the team, but now attention turns to the first triple-header of the season with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.

And for Toto, he knows how gruelling the next period will be for the whole team.

"The last two race weekends have delivered good results, but they don't change our assessment of where we stand," says Toto.

"There are several teams capable of fighting at the front on any given weekend and in Madrid, we performed well but also benefited from things falling our way during the race. We are realistic about that.

"Now we head into the first of three triple-headers to end the season. It will be a demanding period for the whole team, both at the factories and trackside. There is very little time to reset between races, so preparation, reliability and operational execution become even more important. These are the moments where our championship position can be strengthened or lost.

"We start in Baku. It is one of the most unusual circuits on the calendar. It asks a lot from the car and the drivers. You need good straight-line speed, confidence in the braking zones and a car that can handle the low-speed corners through the old city.

"Recent results have been encouraging, but they don't guarantee anything. Baku will expose any weakness very quickly. We have to approach the weekend with humility, do the basics well, and earn every point."
