Kiwi Brendon Hartley has helped unveil the 2018 Toro Rosso Formula 1 car in Barcelona.
Hartley, who will contest his first full season as a Formula 1 driver this year, drove the car at a short track debut last week in wet conditions at Misano but helped the team showcase the Honda-powered car to media on the opening day of Formula 1’s first official four-day test in the Spanish city.
With a similar livery to that which ran on the car last season the Toro Rosso is certainly one of the more striking looks on the grid.
Hartley will drive the car on day one (overnight) and three of the test with his teammate Pierre Gasly taking the wheel on day two and four.
The test will provide the first gauge around how the Honda power unit will impact the team’s chances in 2018.
