Daniel Ricciardo has completed his seat fitting for Toro Rosso's 2013 chassis, having spent Friday working at the Italian team's factory in Faenza. The STR8 design will be launched on Monday 4 February ahead of the opening pre-season test at Jerez.

"Big day with the team in Italy yesterday. Seat fit done," 23-year-old Ricciardo, who is preparing to enter his second full Formula 1 campaign in 2013, explained via Twitter.

Ricciardo will drive the STR8 before teammate Jean-Eric Vergne, with the Australian confirming earlier in the week that he will kick off the Toro Rosso testing program.
