TOTO TALKS - 2020 SPANISH GRAND PRIX

This year marks the 50th running of the Spanish Grand Prix as part of the Formula One World Championship. It's also the 30th Spanish GP to be held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Toto Wolff: "The 70th Anniversary Grand Prix was a good reminder how unpredictable and challenging our sport is and how difficult it is to win a race. You need to get absolutely everything right to beat your opponents - and we didn't do that last weekend. We were quick in Qualifying, but the points are given out on Sunday and that's when we struggled. We got beaten fair and square by Red Bull, and hats off to them again for the job they did."

"Our team has always shown its greatest strengths when it was faced with tough and unexpected challenges - this week was no exception. We were clearly the outliers with regards to our tyre blistering and it was important to find out what exactly caused it and what we can do to mitigate it in the future. We used the last few days to build a better understanding of the problem and translate that into ways to address it in the future."

"Our next stop takes us to Barcelona, a track that we know better than any other circuit on the calendar. However, we usually go to Spain for winter testing and in spring weather for the first race of the European season. This year, we're facing the heat of August with air temperatures of 30 degrees and more, in clear sunny skies."

"Our relative performance seems stronger in slightly cooler conditions, so the heat will definitely make it more challenging, but we're excited to get back on track and find out if we've made a step in the right direction.
