“The mindset of the team has always been the same over the last few years, that the point count goes back to zero. There is nothing from the previous years that will make you win the current championship. No credits to be taken, but also no sense of entitlement.

Like every year, we are skeptical, whether we have done a good enough job, and that is the right mentality,” said Toto.
