Ferrari denies Toro Rosso to use 2016 spec engine

Published on 21 Jan 2016 16:49

Toro Rosso and Ferrari have played down media reports that are doing the rounds on Thursday. A report in Italy suggested that although Toro Rosso will use Ferrari's 2015-specification engine this year, there is a chance the Red Bull junior team will upgrade to the latest version of the Maranello-built 'power unit' later in the season.

Both sides moved to dismiss the rumours. "This is not even an issue for us," Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost told Speed Week. "I have no idea where it even comes from." And Ferrari spokesman Alberto Antonini added: "I've not even heard of that story. It would definitely not be easy to adapt a car to a different engine specification," he said. (GMM)

Sounds weird, Ferrari were planning some significant changes to the 2016 PU so it would not be simple swap. And I don't really understand why they would do that later in the season and not from the start.
