The STR13, which was set to be revealed to the public next Monday on the first morning of pre-season testing, made its track debut at a wet Misano circuit in the hands of Brendon Hartley.

After images of the car were leaked online, Toro Rosso shared the first official photo of the new single-seater on Twitter on Wednesday.

The car will be powered by the Honda RA618H engine after the team switched to the Japanese manufacturer from Renault for 2018, and sports a similar livery to the one introduced by Toro Rosso last year.
