‘A Chance to Bounce Back’

After a difficult weekend on track in Austin, the chance to respond comes immediately.

Five races to go. Just 10 points separating P2 to P4 in the Constructors' Championship.

“We had a poor result in Austin and our rivals gained ground on us,” says Toto.

“We have the chance to bounce back straight away this weekend in Mexico though. It's going to be a battle all the way to the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi and that is something we are relishing.”

Hopeful of a ‘Stronger’ Showing

Mexico City presents a unique challenge,” says Toto.

“The high altitude taxes the brakes and power unit significantly, whilst the thin air requires a high downforce set-up.

“The field is tight but we are hopeful of a strong showing, stronger than we managed in Texas.”

Hola, Fred!

As in Bahrain, there will be a different face behind the wheel of George’s W16 on Friday morning in Mexico.

“Our Reserve Driver Fred Vesti will be in the car for FP1, completing the second of his rookie sessions this year,” says Toto.

“He will contribute to our programme, as he does every time he is in the car.”
