"Conducted and provided by Scuderia Toro Rosso's press office." :rotflmao:

In a Q and A conducted on themselves (is that "newsturabation") Tost de la Lost has explained the lack of performance in addition to his own incompetence as being

"firstly" "we are the only team never to have run with a double diffuser" as we want to do only one major aero update per season....which will happen before Hungary

" Secondly, apart from the limitations on car development, we also had one driver who did not live up to our expectations."

(in other words, crap driver could not win with the crap car we gave him)

he also discusses how they have saved money by not testing to get better results

Nothing like drinking red bull kool aid to clear the nostrils so Mr. Lost can think... :beer:

<H4>A Friendly Message To The Media...

26 | 02 | 09 If you know what’s good for you: keep away from Adria.

The story that we are due to shakedown our new car at the Adria circuit at some point during week-commencing 2nd March seems to have caused confusion in sections of the media.
So, just to make it clear, if and when we do go to Adria, it will be a private test behind closed doors and nobody is allowed in.
Save yourself the trip and stay away. Otherwise our friendly Security Guards, Doug and Dinsdale Pirhana might be forced to nail your pelvis to the floor with a cake-stand.

</H4>

ooooohhhh a cake stand, sounds like tougher than falling on a spike....real fagggy

Class act all the way :rotflmao:

STR truly are my least favourite team....Tost is a buffoon who would rather blame anyone else than himself. Okay Bourdais didn't set the world alight but Buemi's not exactly covering himself in glory either.

I agree,

Bourdais should have been allowed to finish the season.
He did acquit himself fairly well in the latter part of last season in a vastly improved car. Now with the 2009 regs and the redsign this car is a dud.
IMO Buemi has not outshone his teamate at all save a few qualy laps here and there.

STR/tost continue to prove that they are a joke of a team in terms of managment and have successfully run off a bunch of talented drivers. It is no accident that they have an abnormaly high driver turnover ratio and if form holds, expect Buemi to be gone mid 2010 for "not performing" in a crap car.

Maybe tost should think of doing more than one aero package update per year, keep pace with the DDD developments and spend time improving the car rather than berrating his drivers. IMO the drivers are the least of the teams problems.

Just look at what force India did. Stayed the course, improved their car and now are reaping the results.
