2013 Toro Rosso STR8 Vergne

The STR8 is the first Toro Rosso built under the leadership of James Key and Luca Furbatto, both new within the team. The car sports a fundamentally different aerodynamic concept compared to its predecessors as the team found the slim and high sidepods reached the end of their development potential. This was the last Toro Rosso car to use a Ferrari engine before switching to Renault engine for 2014 Formula One season. Team drivers were Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Éric Vergne, both of whom drove for the team in 2012. Tor Rosso eventually finished a respectable eighth in the Constructors’ Championship, with 33 points. Ricciardo was 14th and Vergne was 15th in the drivers’ season standings.
