Toro Rosso has revealed the first image of their 2018 Honda-powered car that it will use in the 2018 Formula 1 season.

Kiwi driver Brendon Hartley gave the STR13 its track debut at a wet Misano circuit overnight.

A full reveal will take place on Tuesday before the first Formula 1 winter test in Barcelona but Toro Rosso posted an image of the new car on their Twitter account.

The car carries a similar livery to the one used in 2017 but was fitted with the controversial halo that included a small slotted gap similar to the one used by Sauber.

Toro Rosso will be powered by a Honda engine after the Japanese manufacturer replaced Renault at the end of 2017.
