Toro Rosso and Nico Rosberg are linked by landmark celebrations featuring the number 200 this weekend.

The 2016 Singapore Grand Prix will be Toro Rosso's 200th race in Formula One. The team made its first appearance in the sport in the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix with drivers Vitantonio Liuzzi and Scott Speed. Liuzzi claimed the team's first point during its maiden season in the US Grand Prix, while their first and only pole position, podium and victory were scored by Sebastian Vettel at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix.

Also making his Grand Prix début at the same Grand Prix on March 12 2006 was Nico Rosberg, then driving for Williams. He finished that race in the points, seventh behind teammate Mark Webber, recorded the fastest lap in the process meaning that he became the youngest driver to do so in Formula One history to date.

Neither Toro Rosso nor Rosberg have missed a Grand Prix race weekend since then, which is why they both arrive at this weekend's race notching up the same milestone of 200 race starts. Let's hoep they enjoy many more to come.
