Guiding Toro Rosso in the right direction
Gerhard Berger is expected to make his first appearance as a Formula One team co-owner today.
The 46-year-old Austrian, who has exchanged half of his shipping company for half of friend Dietrich Mateschitz`s Scuderia Toro Rosso outfit, is apparently travelling to Spain to watch Scott Speed make his debut in the new STR01 at Jerez.
Berger withdrew from his role as joint BMW motor sport director in 2003, but is expected to once again attend most races.
He told the Austria Presse Agentur news agency that the Red Bull deal was only cooked up in the `last few days`.
Berger said former BMW colleague Franz Tost would remain Toro Rosso`s 2006 team principal, but vowed to work `closely` with him.
"It is my responsibility," Berger explained, "to assist in guiding my team in the right direction."
