STR ready to design their own chassis
The Scuderia Toro Rosso is set to begin its own design and development work for the 2010 Formula One season, after four years of sharing chassis designs with parent company Red Bull Racing. STR Team Principal Franz Tost has finally commented on what his team is expecting to do next season, when it will become illegal to share chassis with other teams.
Tost said, "We are busy expanding our infrastructure because we have to design and develop our own car in Faenza next year. Everything is running according the plan.
"The parts that the Concorde agreements demands every team must do, we will do in Faenza," he added, but other composites, for example transmission and things produced with partners, we will make other arrangements for."
"But we will have our own chief designer. Adrian Newey is concentrating on Red Bull Technology and Red Bull Racing."
While also saying that his team will continue to share RBR's windtunnel in Bicester, England, as that is the most cost effective measure regaring aero testing.
