Episode Details

Toro Rosso, the F1 team formerly known as Minardi, bucked the trend in 2006 by using a restricted Cosworth V10 engine instead of the new two-point-four-litre V8. Despite initial fears from other teams about the V10s torque, Toro Rossos performance was only marginally better than the new V8s. The V10 was not optimized for low revs and lacked modern engine tricks, resulting in just one point scored all season. The team eventually switched to Ferrari V8s in 2007, marking the end of the V10 era in F1.
