MONTMELO, Spain -- Pierre Gasly is confident Toro Rosso's new engine partner Honda can keep silencing its critics after a positive opening week to 2018's pre-season.
Toro Rosso completed more laps (324) than any other team over the weather-affected first test, 147 of which Gasly completed on Thursday. Honda came into the new season having endured three horrible seasons with McLaren, which led to their partnership being severed at the end of 2017.
"I think it's great," Gasly said of Honda's start with the team. "147 laps is more than twice a race. I think it's really positive.
