Max Verstappen has predicted Toro Rosso will make a giant leap forward next season, after getting rid of Renault engine's
Red Bull’s junior team were restricted in what they could achieve last season by the poor engine they were given by the French manufacturers.
However, Verstappen believes his team will be the biggest movers due to their switch to Ferrari power.
"I think we will make a bigger step compared to other teams who already have Ferrari or Mercedes power," he told AUTOSPORT.
"I don't think they will find that much in the engine, compared to what we will gain in the engine. It will be a bit better for us and it's definitely going to help us.”
Mercedes and Ferrari are the best engine suppliers in the grid, and the Mercedes team has won both of the last two titles.
Meanwhile, Verstappen shone during his debut campaign and is already looking forward to the start of 2016 in Melbourne.
"Hopefully our car is good again - but it's always about waiting and we will only see in the first race weekend.
"I'm really looking forward to next season.
"It gives you an extra motivation again to work hard in the winter time and get physically even better."
