Toro Rosso team to sport new livery

(GMMf1NET) Scuderia Toro Rosso will bolster Red Bull's image as a 'fun' influence on formula one with a radical livery for its 2006 car.

That's the latest whisper in F1 circles.

Weekend gossip suggests that the former Minardi team, now owned by energy drink magnate Dietrich Mateschitz, will move away both from the black liveries of 2001-2005, and the interim test identity comprising a Red Bull car with a gold-painted nose.

The new livery, however, will not be unveiled until the car is launched just prior to the first race in Bahrain.
