Although the Young Driver Test is a time for talents of the future to prove what they are capable of, the six teams present also took the opportunity to run updates ahead of the USA, Brazil and 2013, with the latter certainly being the case for Toro Rosso.

“The past three days have been very productive, as our car ran with no major problems which allowed us to complete a lot of laps,” explained Chief Engineer
Laurent Mekies.

“Our job list was very full, testing many items - the majority aimed at next year’s car, which will be very useful when it comes to preparing for 2013; it’s fair to say that some of the work could be beneficial to us in the remaining two races of this year.”

A massive 51 points in arrears of Williams, Toro Rosso is seemingly marooned in ninth position for this year’s Constructors’ Championship.
