Ferrari using Toro Rosso for engine testing

By on

It is almost confirmed now that the Scuderia Ferrari have been using Toro Rosso to test their engine reliability throughout the course of a Grand Prix weekend. Germany's 'Auto Motor und Sport' has reported that STR uses long life Ferrari engines during the Friday practices, having clocked around 2,500 km's up until then.

Although this greatly affects the small teams performance, as team principal Franz Tost said, "After 1400 kilometres, the power diminishes dramatically."
