Cepsa joins Toro Rosso as the team looks for more independance

In another positive note for the Faenza based squad, Spanish oil company Cepsa has joined the Scuderia Toro Rosso as a sponsor for the rest of the season commencing with the Italian GP. Cepsa, owned by the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) from Abu Dhabi, will be accompanied on the livery by Nova, a Canadian chemical group.

Reports have it that both of these sponsors will get major real estate on the STR6, but particularly Cepsa as it might even reach the level of title sponsor. And all of this extra money will aid the teams goals to upsize the factory within the next three years as they must now fully build their own cars without the partnership with Red Bull.
