‘Focused On Our Process’ – Toto’s Qatar GP Preview

‘Things Can Change Quickly’

The previous two weekends at Interlagos and in Las Vegas have seen the team take 76 important points in the battle for P2, allowing us to build a 40-point advantage over Red Bull and Ferrari with 101 left on the table.

Toto said: “Two to go. We carry a healthy advantage for P2 in the Constructors’ to Qatar but are taking nothing for granted.

“Whilst we gained points on our nearest rivals in Las Vegas, the weekend also showed how quickly things can change.

“As a team we executed well and are focused on doing so again in both Doha and Abu Dhabi.”

Good Base to Build from Will Be Key

For the final time this year, there will be an extra 15 points on offer in Lusail, thanks to the addition of Saturday’s F1 Sprint to the schedule.

Furthermore, drivers will not be allowed to run more than 25 laps on a set of tyres across the course of the race weekend.

“We have the added challenge of the Sprint format this weekend and an imposed usage limit on the tyres too,” said Toto.

“Making a solid start in FP1, and having a good base to build from, will be key.

“We expect our competitors to be quick; warm conditions and high-speed corners haven’t been our strength this year.

“We’re focused on our process though and will look to maximise the package we have.”
