 Toro Rosso F1 gearbox
Peter Windsor recently reported that Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR) use a different gearbox case to the RedBull Racing (RBR) car. Reportedly he said it was slimmer to allow more air over the diffuser.
I know they use the same seamless gearbox cluster and that RBR use a cast aluminium case. But from what I’ve ever seen of the STR03 and RB4 they are identical aside from the engine and some of the newer aero details not appearing on the STR03.
I didn’t believe that STR had any design capacity at their Faenza factory since the Red bull buy out? It doesn’t make sense that Red Bull Technologies (the company that design the pairs cars) has designed a case specifically for the STR03, the Engine Regs demands a fixed crank shaft centre height, so it can’t for packaging reasons on the Ferrari engine.
Has anyone any insight into this?
