Toro Rosso to run new wings on Friday
Scuderia Toro Rosso will run a new aero package at the Canadian Grand Prix, but the Italian squad will only see its benefits when they run it for the first time in Friday's practice
The team will have new front and rear wings at Montreal but, unlike most of their rivals, Toro Rosso did not try those during the Paul Ricard test last month, when Formula One squads worked on their Canadian Grand Prix preparations.
Toro Rosso will therefore have to rely on the data obtained during wind tunnel testing ahead of the Grand Prix weekend.
"We will be running new front and rear wings to suit the low downforce nature of the track," said technical director Giorgio Ascanelli.
"The front wing also requires new bargeboards and all these items will have their first track test on Friday. For now, we're having to trust in our wind tunnel data.
"Of course we have new braking solutions for this track which is the hardest on brakes, while also keeping some elements of our Monaco package as Montreal is also a soft tyre, bumpy circuit. There are further changes aimed at improving reliability."
