Season review[]
Before the start of the 2016 season, Toro Rosso secured a new engine supply deal with Ferrari. The team would use the 2015-spec Ferrari 060 engine for the season.
In qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix, Verstappen qualified a decent 5th, and Sainz qualified 7th on the grid. However in the race, the strategy was messed up for the team, so Sainz fell back to 9th and Verstappen back to 10th.
After the Russian Grand Prix, Verstappen was promoted to the Red Bull team, demoting Kvyat back to Toro Rosso.
