Scuderia Toro Rosso, the Formula 1 racing team, has unveiled their 2018 car that will be powered by Honda engines. The unveiling took place at a special event in Barcelona, Spain, ahead of the start of the new season.

The new car, named the STR13, features a sleek design and vibrant colors that are sure to catch the eye of fans and competitors alike. The team’s decision to switch to Honda engines marks the end of their partnership with Renault, which had powered their cars in previous seasons.

Toro Rosso’s decision to team up with Honda comes after the Japanese manufacturer’s rocky relationship with McLaren in recent years. Despite a difficult period with McLaren, Honda is hoping to turn their fortunes around with Toro Rosso and prove that they are capable of producing a competitive and reliable power unit.

Team principal Franz Tost expressed his excitement about the partnership with Honda, stating that he has confidence in the capabilities of the Japanese manufacturer. He believes that the new engine will allow them to be more competitive and potentially challenge for podium finishes in the upcoming season.

The STR13 will be driven by a new pair of drivers for the team, with Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley taking over the reins. Gasly has impressed in his previous outings for the team and is seen as a rising star in the sport. Hartley, a former Le Mans winner, is looking to make his mark in Formula 1 after joining Toro Rosso mid-way through last season.

With the new Honda-powered car and talented drivers at the helm, Toro Rosso is eager to make their mark on the 2018 season. The team will be hoping for a successful campaign and a strong showing on the grid, as they aim to continue their upward trajectory in the world of Formula 1. Fans will be eagerly anticipating the start of the season to see how the STR13 performs on the track.
