The first two days of the current pre-season test session were productive for Scuderia Toro Rosso - but might have been even more so if mechanical issues hadn't kept popping up.

The first two days of the current pre-season test session were productive for Scuderia Toro Rosso - but might have been even more so if mechanical issues hadn't kept popping up.
Daniel Ricciardo was the driver through both days, logging 76 laps on Day One before a 'technical problem' - the team did not elaborate beyond that simple explaination - brought his efforts to a halt. Day Two would see only fifty laps completed by the Aussie before a driveshaft issue sidelined him.
Nonetheless, Ricciardo and STR seem well satisfied with what they accomplished. Apart from the usual stuff (trying out various aero set-ups), the squad worked on rehearsing for an actual GP weekend by sticking to the sort of timing schedule - when they can work on the cars & for how long - that is in effect under those circumstances.
As at Jerez, Ricciardo posted some pretty respectable times when compared to the other teams. He posted a 1:23.618 on Day One and a 1:23.639 on Day Two.
Jean-Eric Vergne will take over the driving duties for the remaining two days of this current test session.

if the gremlins can be sorted, and i'm sure they can, then DR's times, which are not too shabby at all, look interesting.
