Red Bull's junior team Toro Rosso will start the season with last year's car, a decision that may well give them an advantage at the start of the season.

That may help them score the odd point early in the season as other teams struggle with reliability.

But a year at the back of the midfield pack is as much as they can expect.

The drivers are promising but lack experience - Champ Car king Sebastien Bourdais debuts alongside Sebastian Vettel, a veteran of half a season.
