STR - last to get Double diffuser
« on: July 13, 2009, 07:40:26 PM »


We shall see if the new diffuser moves them forward, it should do as basically their car is the same as the all conquering RBR.  :confused:  Anyone care to put money on the effect of the diffuser?  ;)

Toro Rosso is looking forward to a performance boost at the Hungarian Grand Prix in two weeks.

While Sebastien Bourdais retired at the Nurburgring with a hydraulic failure having qualified last, Sebastien Buemi finished a distant 16th in the sister car, which is based on the dominant Red Bull Racing RB5.

Despite the visible similarities, however, Toro Rosso insists that while the Red Bull is right at the top, the Ferrari-powered STR4 is ‘the least technically developed car on the grid’.

Indeed, the car is now the only one in the field without a double diffuser; a modification which back at the Faenza factory has required changes to the car's suspension, cooling, hydraulics, gearbox and internal aerodynamics. 
 
The upgrade will finally be ready to debut in Hungary, after getting a successful aerodynamic test at an Italian circuit.

"Hopefully that will show us that we look forward to better things in the last eight races of this season," said Toro Rosso.

Too bad they didn't give Bourdais a shot with the double diffuser.

Hear hear Scotty, shame Seb won't get a run in the improved car.
