Vettel tests new Toro Rosso

Sebastian Vettel finally tested the new Toro Rosso STR3 today at Paul Ricard in the South of France. There were a few teething problems that restricted running in the morning, including a faulty timing transponder. Vettel ran through all the standard new car checks: set-up, functionality, car balance, performance as well as trying both types of tire, the 'soft' and 'supersoft' Bridgestones that will be available in Monaco.

Tomorrow, Sebastien Bourdais takes over in the cockpit.
