The Toro Rosso STR10 is a Formula One racing car which Scuderia Toro Rosso used to compete in the 2015 Formula One season. It was driven by Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz, Jr.
The car was launched on 31 January 2015.[2] Toro Rosso introduced an extensively modified STR10 for the final pre-season tests at the Barcelona circuit in late February, with a shorter nose, new aerodynamics and a new suspension. According to the team's technical director, James Key, this revised STR10 was "actually the 'real' racecar."[3] The car proved quite competitive throughout the season (especially in the hands of Max Verstappen), managing to score 67 points and two 4th places in the Hungarian and American Grand Prix. The results allowed Toro Rosso to end the season with 7th place in the World Constructors' Championship, 9 points behind the Mercedes-powered Lotus. It is expected to be the last Toro Rosso car for the engine to be named as Renault that have powered the team since 2014.
