Toro Rosso confident over STR5 reliability

21 February 2010

Scuderia Toro Rosso finished this week's four-day test at Jerez on a positive note, with the Italian team pleased to have completed the week in Spain without any major problems. Chief Engineer Laurent Mekies said he was happy with the car's reliability ahead of the final week of testing in Barcelona.

"That is encouraging on the reliability front," he commented. "Even with the rain interrupting our programme this week, it has been quite a useful test, working on both dry and wet weather basic setups.


"However, there is still a fair amount of work to do before the first race in Bahrain and we hope to get a lot more testing miles under our belt in Barcelona next week."

"These past two days in the car have been successful and it was good that the weather improved, so I could manage to drive in the dry," added driver Jaime Alguersuari. "The most important aspect is that the car ran reliably, which was our main target here in Jerez. It puts us in good shape to tackle the final test in Barcelona."
