Toro Rosso STR5
The first Toro Rosso designed and built entirely in Faenza, ending the team's reliance on Red Bull-derived designs.
About the Toro Rosso STR5
The STR5 was Scuderia Toro Rosso's car for 2010 and the first chassis the team designed and built itself in Faenza, Italy. Until then its cars had been near-identical to Red Bull's, designed by a third party to get around the ban on customer chassis. It used a 2009-specification Ferrari 056 V8 and was driven by Sébastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari, who scored the team's first points of the year with ninth at Sepang. Buemi's best result was eighth in Canada, and Toro Rosso finished ninth in the Constructors' Championship with 13 points.
