'Spa Is One of the Great Challenges' - Toto's Belgian GP Preview

Off the back of George's success at Silverstone, the team's attention now turns to the Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps.

George secured a maiden home podium last time out, but reliability issues cost Kimi late on as he was charging towards first place.

For Toto, the final double-header before the summer break gives us chance to bring home more points, but only if we can unlock the potential of our 2026 challengers.

"The last few races have underlined both where our strengths are and where we need to improve," Toto says.

"We have a car capable of fighting at the front and scoring heavily, but we have not converted that potential into the best possible results.

"Reliability issues have cost us points, and in a championship this competitive, that is something we cannot afford. There is no value in having the pace if we don't bring home the result.

"Spa is one of the great challenges on the calendar. Like Silverstone, energy management will play an important role, but the characteristics of the circuit create different demands.

"It usually produces exciting racing and genuine overtaking opportunities, while qualifying remains a significant test.

"This is the final double-header before the summer shutdown and we want to head into the break on a stronger note. Our aim is to execute cleanly, deliver the reliability we need, and convert the performance of the car into the points it is capable of scoring.

"We have left too much on the table recently. We need to make sure that doesn't happen again starting this weekend."
