Two Productive Days For STR, Ricciardo
The first two days of the current F1 pre-season test at Jerez saw Scuderia Toro Rosso log a repectable number of short, mid & long stint runs on the new STR7 with Daniel Ricciardo behind the wheel. Afterwards, team principal Franz Tost declared himself to be satisfied that the squad had a "good base" of knowledge from which to make further improvements.   

Some Thoughts From Ascanelli, Tost
Here are a couple of video interviews, in which Giorgio Ascanelli and Franz Tost share their views on the new car and the upcomming F1 season. Finally, there is also a video showing a more detailed view of the STR7.   

And Here It Is...
Scuderia Toro Rosso has officially unveiled the STR7, the third car designed and built entirely by the squad from Faenza. The debut was held at the Jerez circut, where the car will get it's first shake-down run tomorrow. As with nearly all of it's competitors this year, the STR7 features the distinctive 'step' in it's nose.

STR7 Unveiled On Feb. 6
Scuderia Toro Rosso has set Monday, February 6 as the launch date for it's 2012 challenger, the STR7. The pit lane at the Jerez circut will serve as the locale, with the wraps comming off the car at 5:30pm local time. The unveiling will be followed by the obligatory invterview sesion for this year's drivers, Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, as well as Technical Director Giorgio Ascenelli.  

No Launch Date Yet, But...
While Scuderia Toro Rosso has yet to set an offical 'launch date' for the roll out of their 2012 car, they have today announced that the STR7 has cleared all FIA-mandated saftey tests. Furthermore, it will be ready to participate on the first pre-season tests, set to begin on February 7 in Jerez, Spain.  

Introducing: Jean-Eric Vergne
The other half of Scuderia Toro Rosso's 2012 driver line-up took a relatively similar path to reach F1 as Daniel Ricciardo did and, like the Aussie, was fortunate enough to catch the eyes of those who manage the Red Bull drivers' developemental ladder at an early age.
