Scuderia Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost has praised the efforts of chief designer Ben Butler on the back of an encouraging start to the season for the Faenza-based outfit. Butler moved from Red Bull Racing to Toro Rosso when the Italian team began building its own car from the end of 2009, and it appears to have made major progress this year with the aggressive twin-floored STR6.
