Toro Rosso STR11 hits the track in Spain
Carlos Sainz handed the new Toro Rosso STR11 its track debut as F1 testing got underway at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain on Monday.
The Italian team have switched from Renault to Ferrari power units ahead of the new campaign - a significant change which necessitated a change in the new machine’s architecture and contributed to the STR11 debuting in a temporary dark blue livery.
Toro Rosso plan to officially launch the new car - and its 2016 colour scheme - on February 29, a day before the second test begins.
Sainz is scheduled to drive on days one and three of this week's four-day session, with 2015’s top rookie scorer Max Verstappen behind the wheel on days two and four.
