Ahh to be the social media manager at Toro Rosso, fingers hovered over the keyboard thinking “do I reply?” as fans mock their 2018 car after it takes to the track for the first time under Honda power.
You’ve gotta laugh. Photos of the Toro Rosso were leaked online days before it’s launch for the 2018 testing season, so in response Toro Rosso just went with their own tweet:

You’ve gotta have a sense of humour. Let’s hope Toro Rosso’s year is a step up from McLaren’s track record with the Honda power.
