Franz Tost has claimed that Toro Rosso have had the best pre-season in their short history, prior to the 2016 season.

Red Bull’s B team completed the second highest number of laps in the two pre-season tests, behind Mercedes, and look fast and reliable.

Experts place them as the fifth fastest team, and Tost believes that is a realistic target.

"We've had the best preparation as long as Toro Rosso has existed,” he said.

"We've done so many laps and collected so much data, and from the driver point of view, the engineering side, the team itself, we have reached quite a good level.

"The target is fifth place in the constructors' championship, and if we want to achieve this then we have to perform well and score points in all the races.

"Sometimes, hopefully, we will be able to come up with a highlight, which will be a position in the top five.

"But for now, our level of confidence and optimism is higher than ahead of any other season."
