Toro Rosso respond to taunts about Honda engine

Toro Rosso have released a cheeky FAQ article after being teased over the start-up of their Honda engine.

Most teams have been building up to their 2018 launches by posting videos of their engine start-ups, with the Red Bull junior team showing theirs just before Haas became the first team to release images of the new VF-18.

The video of the Honda start-up was met with the usual jokes given the Japanese manufacturer’s rocky years with McLaren, but Toro Rosso took them all in good spirit and posted a comical article in response.
