Scuderia Toro Rosso
Team Score: C-
Jean-Eric Vergne: C
Daniil Kvyat: B
Accepted as a development team for Red
Bull Racing, Toro Rosso has spent it's entire existence in the shadow
of major Formula 1 organizations. For the first time since the team
was structured, Toro Rosso has been running the same powerplant as
the Red Bull Racing team. Despite the engine manufacturer change, the
move did nothing to change the position of the Toro Rosso group.
Proving to be the best problem area for the team has been a multitude
of mechanical issues consisting linked to a variety of components
from the exhaust system to the suspension.
Russian rookie Daniil Kvyat proves
impressive at several points in 2014 with results that included
scoring championship points in his debut run in the Grand Prix of
Australia. Going on to finish in the top-10 in three of the first
four races of the season, Kvyat's has been troubled by several Toro
Rosso mechanical problems leading to four retirements since the
Monaco Grand Prix. Jean-Eric Vergne's 2014 season has been flat but
resulted in him outscoring his rookie teammate so far this season.
Ingredients for Second-Half of 2014:
Toro Rosso's reliability must improve greatly through the remaining
nine races. With vehicle pace not a major issue, drivers Kvyat and
Vergne can be positioned to add a sizable amount of points to the
year-end tally if they can finish events.
