Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso are looking forward to having a new engine partnership with Renault while setting themselves up as rivals to the French carmaker’s own works Formula One team on the track.
After unveiling the new-look Renault-powered STR12 car, eam principal Franz Tost reveals a best-ever fifth place in the constructors’ championship is again the target this season.
Renault, ninth last year with Toro Rosso seventh while using a year-old Ferrari engine, set the same goal at their launch on Tuesday.
The Toro Rosso lineup sees Carlos Sainz starting his third season with the team and Daniil Kvyat, after his demotion from Red Bull Racing last year, embarking on his fourth.
