Technology and development
The STR11 is the successor to the STR10 . Although it is a further development, the vehicle is visually different from the previous model. The STR11 is powered by the Ferrari Type 059/4 , a 1.6-liter V6 engine with a turbocharger in the 2015 season specification, while the previous model had a Renault engine. This makes it the only vehicle in the 2016 Formula 1 World Championship that started with an engine from the previous year.
The nose and front suspension of the car have been redesigned, the side boxes and engine cover are much smaller than on the STR10, which indicates a lower cooling requirement of the Ferrari engine. Since the change of the engine supplier was decided very late, many compromises had to be made in the development of the vehicle. According to James Key, among other things, the drivers had to reduce their weight in order to be as little as possible above the minimum weight together with the vehicle.
Painting and sponsorship

The paintwork was presented before the second week of testing. Like the previous model, the car is painted in a dark blue basic color and has a gold nose.
