About the Toro Rosso STR7
The STR7, briefly referred to as the TR7, was Scuderia Toro Rosso's 2012 car and its third in-house design since customer chassis were banned. The team replaced Sébastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari with Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Éric Vergne, and launched the car at the first winter test at Jerez on 7 February 2012. It scored points in each of the first two races before a long run outside the top ten, and upgrades introduced at the Belgian Grand Prix brought more regular points. Toro Rosso finished ninth in the Constructors' Championship with 26 points.
