Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost says there is "a big difference" between his team's newfound status as Honda's Formula 1 partner and its previous relationships with engine suppliers.
The Red Bull-owned outfit has used Cosworth, Ferrari and Renault engines since it joined F1 in 2006, before completing a three-year deal with Honda from 2018.
Ahead of the team's first race with the Japanese manufacturer, Tost explained that Toro Rosso's new partnership has so far been unlike any relationship with its previous suppliers.
"It is a big difference, believe me," Tost told Autosport. "This starts with the design of the car.
"In the past, we just got a power unit and suppliers said: 'Look, this is the power unit, with the pipes, with all the aggregates, just put it into your car'.
"Now our designers are sitting together with the Honda engineers, they think 'OK, how can we create the oil tank, for example, in front of the engine, how to put it in a best possible way into the chassis.'
"Or the exhaust system. This is a big impact on the aerodynamics on the side of the car.
"Also, when you get the hot air from radiators to the back, where do you get it out?
"In former times, we just had to find the way, and now we are discussing it with Honda."
Toro Rosso and its previous supplier, Renault, found themselves at odds over the causes of poor late-season engine reliability.
Tost reckoned the new Honda partnership was "the first time" his team had this much input on the engine side, and said Toro Rosso engineers were relishing the freedoms they had in setting up the power unit.
