Looking to Maintain Momentum: Toto Previews Belgian GP

The first half of the season has been a tale of two halves.

Before Canada, the best Grand Prix finish had been P5 with George in Bahrain and Monaco. Since Montreal the team has achieved two wins, two pole positions, and scored podiums in each of the past five races.

The aim for Belgium? To keep that run going.

"We head into the final race before the summer break on a run of five consecutive podium finishes," Toto said.

"We are therefore looking to continue that momentum and finish the first half of the season strongly.

"We are on a positive trajectory and that is encouraging."

Toto said: "Last weekend in Hungary was not straightforward. We qualified out of position and left ourselves with plenty of work to do.

"We were able to race hard on Sunday though and score solid points, including Lewis claiming his 200^th podium in F1 which is a superb achievement."

Budapest and Spa may be a week apart on the calendar but are likely to be poles apart in terms of temperature.

The tarmac at the Hungaroring reached 55 degrees on race day. The average temperatures for Spa over the years is down at 27.5.

"It was positive to see the steps we have made in those hotter conditions, although there is more work to do," Toto added.

"Spa is a very different challenge to Budapest.

"With cooler temperatures and a much more high-speed layout, it will be interesting to see how the W15 performs compared to our rivals."
