Scuderia Toro Rosso presented STR8

February 4, Scuderia Toro Rosso has unveiled a new car on the circuit in Jerez. The next day STR8 will start the tests, and in the evening the team presented its journalists.
The pilots remained the same - a protective veil with STR8 pulled Daniel Riccardo and Jean-Eric Verne, but since the autumn of last year, the technical team is headed by James Key, who moved from Sauber. For the arrival of the British engineer working on the project has already been completed, all the basic settings have been defined, so Ki focused on optimizing STR8 to implement the goals set by the team who finished last season only the ninth line of the Cup of designers.



Franz Toast, team principal: "This is a very emotional moment. The team worked very hard on in order to build a competitive car and realize high hopes that we associate with this season. Our goal is sixth place in the Cup of designers.
STR8 - the first machine built by James Key and Luca Furbetta. Last year both our drivers did a good job, and I am sure that if we will give them a competitive car, they will be able to surprise many".
