Honda’s latest Formula 1 upgrade has moved it ahead of Renault in the engine pecking order, according to Toro Rosso [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wehrlein-list-candidates-toro-rosso/] team boss Franz Tost. The Japanese manufacturer introduced its second upgrade of the season in Russia on Friday, and although it has reverted to an older specification for the rest of the weekend that update has been hailed as a significant step forward. [https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/honda-upgrade-gains-have-toro-rosso-excited/3185246/] “Honda is making big steps forward,” Tost said. “Yesterday [Friday] we had the new spec in the car and it was really fantastic.” Asked if he felt Honda had caught Renault with its upgrade, Tost said: “It is in front of Renault. [The] complete package. “We had it in the car yesterday, but we have to start from the back of the grid and then we decided we go back to spec 2 just to save some mileage and to make some fine-tuning. “In Suzuka we will have it.” Renault [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1d342804aa22660b6b8a4d177b3fbe15-300x200.jpg]Toro Rosso Honda’s latest upgrade is another significant internal combustion engine upgrade married to minor updates to the other components for optimisation. Tost said Honda will not keep the same design for next year although he would only confirm “there are changes, but I do not want to go into details – I can only tell you they are really on a good way”. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has talked up Honda several times since his team confirmed it would use Honda engines next season. He said he agreed that Honda’s upgrade moved it ahead of Renault when asked by Motorsport.com about Tost’s assessment. Verstappen, who said earlier this week that Honda will start next season at least level with Renault, added: “As soon as everything was confirmed, that we were going to run with Honda next year, for sure you pay a lot of attention to it. “You could see definitely the steps they were making and this weekend was a very positive one.” Honda [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/download-6-2-300x168.jpg]Toro Rosso Honda

<h2><strong>Toro Rosso: Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</strong></h2>
The Toro Rosso F1 team are a year younger than sister team Red Bull. Toro Rosso was largely seen as a feeder team for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/">Red Bull</a>. The team were born from the ashes of the Minardi team. When Minardi boss, Paul Stoddart sold his remaining assets to Red Bull?s Dietrich Mateschitz, Toro Rosso was the result.

A number of their former drivers have been promoted to Red Bull, namely, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/">Daniil Kvyat</a>, and now <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/">Pierre Gasly</a>.

Their driver line-up for 2019 was Russian driver Daniil Kvyat and Thai driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-albon/">Alexander Albon</a>.

The team changed the name to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/alphatauri/">AlphaTauri</a> after the 2019 season.
<h2>Best of Toro Rosso</h2>

<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
The team scored points in their first season, with Vitantonio Liuzzi finishing eighth in USA. Their big break came in 2008 at the Italian Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel had stunned many when he nabbed pole position at a damp Monza circuit. He would later convert that into a win, again in the damp conditions. In the process, he broke the record for the youngest pole-sitter and youngest race winner.

To this day, his pole-position record still stands, despite Max Verstappen?s efforts. It also remains as Toro Rosso?s only win in their F1 career. That year, they also had a career-best finish of sixth in the constructor?s championship.

<h2><strong>Toro Rosso?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
Toro Rosso largely share sponsors with Red Bull. For the sake of clarity, their title sponsor is Red Bull, for obvious reasons. Other sponsors include Pirelli, Honda, Siemens, and Casio. On October 19th, 2018, American fast-food giant KFC signed on as a sponsor.

Like sister team Red Bull, Toro Rosso also support Wings for Life Charity.
