HUNGARY: Taking the Fight to our Rivals

The final back-to-back before the summer shutdown is fast approaching, with two weekends of F1 action in Budapest and at Spa-Francorchamps.

Following on from positive steps in Silverstone, we're looking to make further strides in Hungary - a very different track and challenge to the recent venues we've visited.

"We head to Hungary looking forward to tackling the double-header before the summer shutdown," said Toto. "It has been an up-and-down first half of the year, but we can take several positives.

"At Silverstone, we outscored our closest competitors. We executed well on race day. We were able to race to the podium and extend our P2 advantage in the championship.

"However, the order is fluctuating almost every weekend. We need to keep adding performance if we are to close the gap to the front and fight for victories.

"Several teams have made big gains recently. This has brought some into the fight with us, especially McLaren. It has been impressive and gives us encouragement that we can also continue to find gains. We relish that challenge and will bring our own steps in due course.

"The Hungaroring is a circuit that is quite different in nature to Silverstone. It will be interesting to explore how our latest upgrades perform in the long-radius, slow-speed corners.

"We have good memories from Hungary last year, with George's first pole position in F1 and a double podium for the Team. This race also marks a decade since Lewis' first win with us, so it's a circuit full of good memories.

"Hopefully we can have another strong showing this time out. We want to build on the positive momentum from Silverstone, and take the fight to our rivals."
