How Red Bull junior team plans to profit from McLaren’s pain
Hooking up with an engine supplier whose relationship with one of F1's most successful teams was an abject failure doesn't bode well for Toro Rosso. But it believes it has pulled off a massive coup by becoming Honda's number one.
Scuderia Toro Rosso was created as Red Bull Racing's 'B team', a place to give talented young drivers from its junior programme a first step on the Formula 1 ladder.
Since 2006, Toro Rosso has run 12 drivers across 12 seasons, and four – Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappen – have turned that opportunity into a promotion to the senior team.
