The new and improved Honda engine is rumoured to have 40 extra horsepower, which would be more than was initially thought.

Even though the rumours of a big upgrade on the Honda power unit are getting louder, the Toro Rosso drivers both can't confirm or deny the number of horsepower that will be added to the STR-13.

"I don't know the exact numbers," Brendon Hartley told Spanish newspaper AS.

"Honda and Toro Rosso will know.

"I've understood that it will be quite the leap."

His teammate Pierre Gasly is looking forward but knows that it won't be a guaranteed success.

"I'm looking forward to this a lot.

"Sometimes, something works in the Formula One when you expect it to and sometimes it doesn't," he warned.
