Technical director James Key is hoping that continuity as well as a few years experience with their driver line-up will help STR develop the new car.

He recently told Racer Magazine: “For us we’re happy with having a known driver pair, we’re happy having guys we know but importantly it’s the most experienced driver line-up I think the team will have had.

“They will go into the season allowing us to go and develop our 2017 car with their known and understood feedback, so that will be good.”
