What is the difference between toro rosso and red bull

Mid-season updates improve pace and relieve reliability woes. Second season more difficult than first, despite Ferrari power. David Coulthard scores team's first podium in Monaco, but overall amass 18 points less than in '05 and face growing challenge from junior sister team, Toro Rosso.

Austrian-owned team's first campaign, following purchase of Jaguar squad formerly Stewart Grand Prix, , proves highly successful. Amass more points in the first two races than Jaguar managed the entire previous season.

He can pass this onto the Torro Rosso team. Vettel will be a great addition to the Red Bull team next season and will help them onto the next level. He will force Webber to get more out of himself, so overall for Red Bull it will be a very positive driver line-up next season. At the moment Toro Rosso is 3 points ahead of Red Bull in the championship. However Toro Rosso have a very strong chance of staying ahead. There is a possibility of rain at any of the final 3 races. Vettel seems to be a rain master and Toro Rosso appear to have adapted the car brilliantly to the wet conditions.

The long-term forecast suggests rain for the race in Fuji. If any rain comes at all then Toro Rosso are better positioned than Red Bull to take a full advantage of it. A wet race could well clinch it for Toro Rosso in terms of finishing ahead of Red Bull.

If there is no rain its closer to call. However the giant straight at Fuji and fast sectors 1 and 2 should give Toro Rosso the edge. Shanghai is a mixture of fast and slow sections so the two teams should be evenly matched there. Brazil is faster than it is slow with two long straights.

So I expect Toro Rosso will have an edge there like in Fuji. Overall Toro Rosso and in particularly Vettel are in the form of their lives at the moment whilst Red Bull are on a slight downer. This writer thinks Torro Rosso can finish the job off. Currently Toro Rosso is for sale but the boss of Red Bull Dietrich Mateschitz is willing to hold out for the right offer. In customer cars will finally be outlawed for good. This means that Toro Rosso have to be prepared to be a constructor by this time.

Torro Rosso have already started preparing by taking on more staff gradually. That historic win in Monza will do Toro Rosso no harm in trying to find sponsors or potential big investors to takeover the team. Clearly overall there is a future for Toro Rosso or whatever name they possibly change to from and beyond. Chances of them becoming extinct are a lot less than may have been previously thought earlier in the season. Their recent success has raised the teams credit rating and future potential as a team.

Whether they can continue to stay as competitive as Red Bull in the future is another matter. Toro Rosso should have a good car for at least next season. If this is proved to be the case then Toro Rosso will reap the benefits too and have another great season. To add it to your profile, you will need to sign in.
