First own-design for Toro Rosso
1 February 2010 – Toro Rosso's STR5 of 2010 is an important milestone for the Faenza team as it constructs its own car for the first time. Previously, the Italian squad's contenders were prepared completely by Red Bull Technology, the same subsidiary company behind Red Bull Racing's cars.
"As for the challenge we face this season, to quote Mao Tse-tung, 'We should not be talking about what we will do when we have crossed the river, we must first get the bridges and ships with which to cross the river.' We have started by building those bridges and ships. We are not quite there yet and, at this stage, getting everyone to work together in a productive fashion is our most important task."
