An even closer look.

It's well hung.

Part of me wishes they had to use one of those poxy little digital fuel displays that came through in the mid-80's, or even a mechanical one that they'd have to flick from time to time to check if it's moving...

Scuderia Toro Rosso 2014 - Misano Filming Day

 

 

 

Do you know when this video was actually filmed? The reason I am asking is that when the video starts it is having a code: MI201401210089 that at least I interpret to read the video is dated 21st of January 2014 that would predate Jerez testing...

Yes, the actual production date was Jan. 24th but either way prior to the Jerez test.

This vidéo is the first shakedown but the second shakedown the 11/02 was a failure.

There seems to be confusing information related to the almost simultaneous release of STR first promotional day video filmed before Jerez and news about Toro Rosso still suffering about similar problems at a second session.

So is there any evidence available STR had this second session at all?

Well I'm really dragging this thread up from the depths but what happened today?  

They looked perfectly fine in the FP2 long stints

Not sure what happened to JEV but Kyvat had quite a few racing incidents - he banged wheels heavily with JEV, and locked up several times trying to keep the Force India guys behind. The last time he did that he flat spotted the tyre badly and had to move to a two-stop strategy, which was quite costly. Like Ricciardo he started the race on 9 lap old soft tyres that put him on the back foot. 

 

Generally their race pace was not too good. I guess they prioritised a quali setup?

With Kvyat definitely because it was his home race. Too bad they had to do that, otherwise they could have scored a point or two.

What started as a promising day ended up nowhere. Neither driver was particularly impressive today, and that's not usually the case.

[DutchQuicksilver]

Apparently they had massive fuel usage issues, which caused them to fall back that much.

Fuel saving issues confirmed...
