For 2015 Toro Rosso had two young rookie drivers, and they scored over twice as many points as Vergne and Kvyat did in 2014, but the same WCC position.
Position | Driver | Wins | Podiums | Poles | Fastest Laps | Points |
12 | Max Verstappen | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 49 |
15 | Carlos Sainz | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 18 |
No podiums for Toro Rosso, but Verstappen scored an impressive amount of points, 31 more than his teammate Sainz.
Driver | Race Finish | Started Ahead | Qualified Ahead | Faster Race Lap |
Max Verstappen | 5 | 10 | 9 | 11 |
Carlos Sainz | 5 | 9 | 10 | 7 |
Pretty even here, in the ten races where both Toro Rosso drivers have finished, they have each beat the other five times. Qualifying is more or less 50/50, Verstappen edges ahead with the faster race laps, but it’s the least useful stat there is.
Driver | Out of Q1 | Out of Q2 | Into Q3 |
Max Verstappen | 1 | 8 | 10 |
Carlos Sainz | 2 | 10 | 7 |
Verstappen again slightly edging ahead here, three more Q3s than Sainz and dropped out of Q1 less.
Driver | Average Qualifying | Average Finish | Top 10s | Retirements |
Max Verstappen | 11.00 | 9.80 | 10 | 4 |
Carlos Sainz | 11.84 | 10.17 | 7 | 7 |
Yet again, Verstappen just edging ahead, the average qualifying and race finish positions are both very close, but Verstappen had more points scoring finishes and fewer retirements.
