Toro Rosso STR9

2014 confirmed Toro Rosso's position as a respectable midfield runner unable to make the final breakthrough needed to become a top team.

The highlight of the year was Vergne's run to sixth at the 2014 Singapore Grand Prix to score the team's season highest finish.

He decided to move to Red Bull Racing for the following season after Sebastian Vettel decided to move to Ferrari team, and would be replaced by future world champion Max Verstappen.

This was their 2nd best WCC position so far, but there was still some way to go to take on the likes of Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams and McLaren.

Vergne took home sixth in Singapore; the team's best result in 2014
