Honda and its new partner, Scuderia Toro Rosso, have unveiled their new Formula 1 car, the STR13.

Fitted with the Honda RA618H power unit, the car for the new season was presented to the public at the Barcelona Catalunya Circuit.

Following the reveal of the new car that Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley will drive in this year’s FIA Formula 1 World Championship, Red Bull Toro Rosso Honda joined the other nine F1 teams for eight days of pre-season testing at the Barcelona circuit, prior to the first Grand Prix of the season, which takes place in Melbourne, Australia on March 25.

Franz Tost, Scuderia Toro Rosso Team Principal said: “I am really looking forward to beginning this new season and enter a new era for our team, working together with Honda. It’s an exciting time for Toro Rosso because we have not had our own engine supplier before, so to partner with a manufacturer, with the history Honda has, will be great. We also have two accomplished rookies for the 2018 season. They are not completely new because both Pierre and Brendon drove a handful of races for us last year, but this will be their first full season in Formula 1.”

Katsuhide Moriyama, Chief Officer for Brand and Communication Operations, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. said: “I am delighted that our new car is here and ready for the start of winter testing, having been designed and built to a very tight schedule. That is a tribute to the dedication of the Honda and Scuderia Toro Rosso personnel who have already learned to work very well together, developing the STR13 chassis and RA618H power unit package over the short winter months.

Now we have just eight days to evaluate our work on the track, in order to be ready for the coming season. We appreciate the warm support from the fans and hope they enjoy watching us compete in this year’s championship.”
