Toro Rosso Formula 1

Scuderia Toro Rosso (Italian for Red Bull Stable) is a Formula One racing team owned in a 50/50 partnership between the drinks company Red Bull and former racer Gerhard Berger, and which made its racing debut in 2006. The team principal is Franz Tost, formerly of BMW's motorsport division.

The team was set up by Red Bull with the purchase of the Minardi team and will have to keep its headquarter in Faenza, Italy until at least the 2007 season - a condition imposed by former Minardi boss Paul Stoddart at the time of the deal. Scuderia Toro Rosso will compete in Formula One as the Red Bull Racing's sister team with the aim of developing the skills of promising drivers. For the 2007 season Toro Rosso will be using Ferrari V8 engines, taking over the contract that their senior team broke from. -- source www.wikipedia.org
