Toro Rosso could fold

Toro Rosso co-owner Gerhard Berger has suggested the future is looking pretty bleak for his team. The Austrian believes the pinch of the global credit crunch combined with a new regulation that every team must have a car designed and built at its own factory from 2010 could spell the end for Toro Rosso. The team is currently heavily reliant on sister team Red Bull to design and build its cars, Berger said:

“I would struggle to carry on alone (without Red Bull). I need the backing of a car manufacturer, which isn’t there."
