Toro Rosso Forced to Delay Launch of STR12

By Joey Barnes, Editor-in-Chief

Scuderia Toro Rosso will see its presentation this Sunday of their 2017 challenger, the STR12, pushed back by 90 minutes.

The launch was expected to follow Red Bull Racing and Haas F1 Team in Barcelona. However, that time has been pushed back due to unknown circumstances.

The new time will be 12 p.m. ET (6 p.m. CET).

The Faenza-based squad will still reveal its new car on the pit lane outside their garage at Barcelona- Catalunya Circuit.

The team released the following in a statement:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, the launch presentation of our new car, the STR12, has been delayed by 90 minutes.”
