February launch for Toro Rosso’s 2011 car

Toro Rosso have announced that their new car, the STR6, will make its track debut at Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo circuit on February 1 - the first day of 2011 Formula One testing for the new season. The launch will take place in the pit lane at the Spanish venue before the on-track action, expected to feature all 12 teams, gets underway.

Although not yet confirmed in the FIA's 2011 entry list, Toro Rosso are expected to retain their 2010 diver line-up of Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari, who took eight and five points respectively over the course of the 2010 season to secure Toro Rosso ninth place in the constructors’ standings.

Sauber are the only other team to have officially announced when they will unveil their 2011 car. They will take the wraps off the new C30 the day before Toro Rosso - on January 31 - also at the Valencia circuit.
