After a launch and a shakedown in Barcelona, these three days were effectively thefirst "proper" test session for Scuderia Toro Rosso with the new STR2 car. Therefore,after Spain, it was a case of full speed ahead to get to the Sakhir circuit in time.

"We are still very much in the early stages of development, learning about the carand how to work with it," said Chief Engineer, Laurent Mekies. "This meant that forthe first two days, we did not cover as much mileage as we would have liked, but thisis inevitable when learning about a new car. But by the third day, we managed toincrease our number of laps and pick up some speed, as we worked on aero andmechanical set up, as well as evaluating the two types of tyre Bridgestone will makeavailable to us for the race here in April."

Scuderia Toro Rosso and the eight other teams here now have two days to get backup to speed in readiness for the final three days of the Sakhir test that get underwayon Tuesday 23 February.  The mechanics will be working at full speed in the garageto ensure everything is ready.

And just in case you think from reading the above, that we have a limited vocabularywhen it comes to talking about speed, Scuderia Toro Rosso is happy to confirm thatScott Speed will once again race for the team this season.
