This morning, the team Red Bull has published an official press release, which stated that in connection with the incident at the time of the Grand Prix of Russia, which was attended by Sebastian Vettel cars №5, №26 and Daniil Kvyat, the team decided to end the season translated Kvyat the team Toro Rosso, but his place to give the pilot a youth team Toro Rosso Max Ferstappen.
In fact, chances are that this change — the result of an accident in Sochi, close to zero. In the Red Bull always fairly balanced approach to any decisions and clearly did not take them for two days. So, most likely, this change is already assumed in the team, given the proximity to the management Verstappen Sr., continuously present in the paddock and in the arrangement of the Red Bull. Just carry it in front of the Grand Prix of Russia would be simply unwise.
However, Formula 1 has long been extremely politicized «game» where people come for the big money, and pilots use as a bargaining chip.
Of course, it can be considered as «positive» the fact that Kvyat simply «demoted», but could not in the team did not realize that this penalty will be reflected in the career of a young and very promising pilot. It is hoped that Daniel enough presence of mind to cope with the situation, and Ferrari engines in cars Toro Rosso will help him to correctly place all the emphasis of the upcoming season. In addition, working with Carlos Sainz can be very comfortable for Daniil Kvyat.
Quite different is reflected in the movement of the «senior» team at Max Ferstappene. he went up too fast and too quickly won a seat in a top team. In addition, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that he can not be a team player and is prone to make mistakes because of his own vehemence.
The next Grand Prix, which will take place in Spain on 14–15 May, will show how events will develop further.
