Cut the Bull: Interview with Gerhard Berger
Amid Formula One's customer cars controversy, Adam Cooper sat down with Toro Rosso co-owner Gerhard Berger to find out what the fuss is all about... (but also what he thinks of Montoya, Hakkinen, Liuzzi and Scott Speed)
Toro Rosso have had an eventful life since the marque morphed out of Minardi. Last season, the team ran to their own rules with the V10 engine, and Tonio Liuzzi's pace at the Bahrain season opener ruffled a few feathers. After that, the team's form subsided and so did the fuss, despite the FIA granting the Cosworth a few extra revs from mid-season.
This year, we have Toro Rosso embroiled in the saga of customer cars - although co-owner Gerhard Berger, rightly perhaps, insists that the phrase does not properly describe what Red Bull has done. As has been clear for some time, Adrian Newey's design group, now known as Red Bull Technology Ltd, has - apparently within the framework of the Concorde Agreement - produced a design that can take both the Renault and Ferrari engines.
