Joining the New Boyz Hit Parade was Scuderia Toro Rosso with its very first own constructed Formula 1 Chassis, the STR5, having spent the last four seasons deriving their Racecar’s thru the backdoor of Big Brother Red Bull, nee Red Bull Technologies in a partnership sharing agreement, which has come to an end beginning this season.

Yet I’m not sure why all the fuss since after all they are the old Minardi Team, which previously built its own chassis in true Constructor fashion, nevertheless the Faenza based Team will be scrambling to bring their new car up to snuff, albeit having a leg up on the four new Teams who’ll be showing up at the last moment…
