The Russian Grand Prix was more than complicated for Daniil Kvyat, who crashed Sebastian Vettel at the start of the race, will not have worked in favor of the Russian. Red Bull announced this Thursday morning the replacement of the 3 GP2013 Series champion by Max Verstappen from the next Spanish Grand Prix (May 13-15). Kvyat will return to the stable Toro Rosso, with whom he had started in F1 in 2014.

“Max has proven to be an exceptional young talent, specifies Christian Horner, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing. His performances at Toro Rosso have been impressive so far and we are happy to give him the opportunity to drive for Red Bull Racing.
