Scuderia Toro Rosso needs a new factory, says team co-owner Gerhard Berger. He is looking at the possibility of new digs, but has no plans to move the operation to Britian to be closer to its' "sister" team, RBR, citing a desire to maintain STR's Italian identity.

STR's current factory, based in Faenza, is smaller than most other F1 teams and lacks the "glamour" that they project. Berger is considering building a new team home either in Faenza or possibly in nearby Forli, which would give STR closer access both to major highways and an airport.
