The Faenza-based outfit will reveal its Renault-powered STR12 in the pitlane at the Barcelona circuit on Sunday February 26.

Its drivers Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz will be joined by team principal Franz Tost and technical chiefs James Key and Ben Waterhouse for the unveiling.

Toro Rosso’s launch comes at the end of a week when most teams are expected to reveal their new challengers.

Force India, Renault, Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari are all holding bespoke launch events, while Sauber and Haas are expected to reveal their cars after filming days at Barcelona.

Toro Rosso’s sister team Red Bull has yet to announce its plans.
