Toto’s Monaco Preview:

‘Different and Intense’ Challenge Lies Ahead

After our toughest weekend of the season so far in Imola, the latter applies to us, and Toto and the team are eager to get back on track this weekend.

Keen to Avoid Repeat of Imola

Kimi’s first F1 career retirement and George’s first finish out the top five meant the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix was the team’s lowest points return of the campaign.

The work to make sure that doesn’t become a regular occurrence is already under way.

“After a tough race in Italy, we have the opportunity to bounce back immediately in Monaco,” says Toto.

“We will work hard, quickly and efficiently, to understand what caused our limitations in Imola.

“It is important we get on top of that so we can avoid any repeat performances in the future.”

Embracing the Monaco Challenge

Easily the most iconic and unique stops on the calendar, Monaco brings with it a whole host of challenges that teams must be ready to adapt to.

While some element of the Monaco Grand Prix, such as the importance of Qualifying, will remain the same this season, there will also be new facets to the weekend to factor in.

“We know that Monaco is a very different challenge,” says Toto.

“Qualifying is absolutely vital and that has been a strength of ours this year. That is encouraging but doesn't mean anything unless we can do the job on track.

“We have seen how competitive Saturdays have been this year, and that’s always more intense in Monaco.

“We will have to be at our best to give ourselves the opportunity to fight for a good result on Sunday.

“The mandatory two-stop in the Grand Prix will also add another dimension to the race. We're excited for the challenge and looking forward to getting back on track.”
