About the Toro Rosso STR6
The STR6 was Scuderia Toro Rosso's 2011 car and the second it had built entirely in-house since customer chassis were banned. It used a 2010-specification Ferrari 056 V8, chosen to save money, and was raced by Sébastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari, with Daniel Ricciardo driving in Friday practice until he joined HRT. Alguersuari recorded its best qualifying position, sixth at Spa, and its best finishes, seventh at Monza and in Korea. The pair scored 41 points, 26 for Alguersuari and 15 for Buemi, and Toro Rosso finished eighth in the Constructors' Championship.
