Toro Rosso will launch its 2015 car the day before pre-season testing starts in Jerez.

The STR10 will break cover at 1700 local time on January 31, a day before Carlos Sainz Jr takes the wheel for the first day of testing, before handing it over to fellow rookie Max Verstappen the following day. The pair will swap places again for the third day before Verstappen completes its Jerez running on February 4.

The team is the fifth to announce its launch plans and the second to announce it will launch at Jerez, with reigning champions Mercedes set to unveil their 2015 challenger in the pit lane on February 1. Toro Rosso starts the year with an all-rookie line-up, following Daniil Kvyat's elevation to Red Bull and Jean-Eric Vergne's departure from the team.
