Scuderia Toro Rosso enjoyed a first day of testing for the STR11-02 in Barcelona with Carlos Sainz Jr completing 55 laps.
Sainz was pleased after his first session behind the wheels of the team’s 2016 hope, “We were all obviously very much looking forward to today and it was a great achievement to drive out after not the easiest of winters."
"The team has done a great effort and today was quite a decent first day. We managed to have a very clean morning and it was also being a smooth afternoon up until we suddenly had to stop the car… So we had to unfortunately call it a day, but up until then it was all going perfectly and I felt good in the car.”
