Toro Rosso STR9 Pre-launch Speculation

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Got it.

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing it! Sounds awesome.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

Every single launch so far has been while I have been at work...

Do people think that the STR9 will bear much resemblance to the RB10 or not??

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

They were not too close last few seasons. however they share same engine this year, so maybe we can see the cooling approach.

At the rear they are gonna be similar as the RB10, STR9 & CT04 will all be rocking the same Powertrain and Gearbox.

Ill suggest that the rear will be the same, however from the engine forward the cars will look different, rearward will be similar.

Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

It could be a mix of Ferrari style and the finger one.

Yes its definitely a finger nose. The cloth could be cheating me but looks like inwash endplates on front wing.

It looks like it has a nice low chassis running down to the nose. But what nose :?
