Formula One: Russian Daniil Kvyat to make second Toro Rosso return a year after being dropped

Firstpost  

It will be the third time Daniil Kvyat will be joining Formula One team Toro Rosso, firstly in 2014 as a rookie and then in 2016 after being demoted from Red Bull Spa Francorchamps: Daniil Kvyat will be hoping it’s third time lucky at Toro Rosso. It’s the third time Kvyat has joined Toro Rosso, firstly in 2014 as a rookie, then in 2016 after being demoted from Red Bull following crashes and poor form. “I never gave up hope of racing again, I am still young and I have kept in good shape to always be prepared in case another opportunity presented itself.” Kvyat’s announcement was good news for fans at this weekend’s Russian Grand Prix, since he’s the country’s most successful F1 driver with two podium finishes and 133 career points. The young driver program doesn’t have any obvious candidates with the results to earn an F1 license for next year, still a pressing issue given Brendon Hartley’s return of just two points this year alongside Gasly in the second Toro Rosso.
