Shortly before heading out on track at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the second pre-season test, the Faenza outfit unveiled its 2016 challenger, the STR11, in its new livery, the car having run in plain dark blue at the previous test.
"We are proud of this car," said team principal Franz Tost, "and what it represents in terms of the work that went into designing and building it in record time in our new facility in Faenza.
"And I am particularly pleased that 2016 sees a return to Ferrari power, with everyone looking forward to working once again with our friends from Maranello.
"None of this would be possible without the invaluable support of our partners and sponsors; Red Bull, Sapinda, Estrella Galicia. We are very happy to welcome back our friends from Falcon Private Bank and to start a new cooperation with Casio Edifice.
"In Formula 1, the stars are the drivers and I am keen to see what our two very talented youngsters, Max and Carlos can achieve this year, as they are now in their second season."
Following some time in front of the media for the obligatory photo-ops, the team got back to the serious work of testing, Max Verstappen on duty for the first day of this week's final test.
