Toro Rosso-Toonz: Pre-Monaco fun from the Italian outfit

And so the saga continues...

Formula One press releases are often dry, corporate affairs; mere PR-speak soundbites from the drivers and perhaps the odd key team member. But not at Torro Rosso. Like 'em or loathe 'em, the Italian squad's pre-race 'statements' to the media are, if nothing else, a change from the norm.

In fact they're not statements at all, but rather a continuing cartoon strip featuring the exploits of the team's race drivers, Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari, and reserve Daniel Ricciardo. They're so out of the ordinary that we may make a point of throwing every one for the remainder of the season on Badger.

Just one question: how on earth would they deal with the (quite possible) sacking of one of the race drivers to allow Ricciardo a full-time seat later in the season? That one we can't wait to see. For now, here's Monaco's installment.
