Formula One cars go through evolutionary design changes every year, in response to FIA rules and regulations, and the vagaries of Bernie Ecclestone. The video above shows the changes the Toro Rosso STR went through across ten years of racing.
Scuderia Toro Rosso, Toro Rosso or STR as it is commonly known, rose from the ashes of the Minardi Formula One team after being purchased by team principal and Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, at the end of 2005. After taking full control of the team in 2008, Toro Rosso began functioning as a feeder team to Red Bull Racing, developing promising talent for eventual promotion to the top flight.
Currently Toro Rosso is managed by team principal Franz Tost, who came over from BMW’s motorsport division. Current drivers are Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz, Jr., with the team campaigning the STR10 chassis powered by a Renault Energy F1-2015 engine rolling on Pirelli tyres.
2015 was the best year yet for Toro Rosso, with the team finishing seventh in the Constructor’s championship with 67 points.
