Toro Rosso team chief Franz Tost is hopeful that sacked d✱river Daniil Kvyat can secure a ღFormula 1 role in the near future, saying the Russian “deserves” to be on the grid.
Kvyat was dropped twice through 2017 by Toro Rosso due to a lack of performance, with his final appearance coming at the United States Grand Prix before Brendon Hartley took his seat for t🍬he remaining three races of the seas♑on.
Kvyat was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:dismissed from the Red Bull motorspo💛rt programme altogether after spending the majority of his racing career under its ওumbrella, and is now𓄧 considering his options for 2018.
, Tost spoke warmly of Kvyat’s talent and ability,ไ admitting that reliability issues may have contributed to his dip in performance and eventual sacking.
“I am still convinced that Daniil has a very high natural speed. He was sometimes even faster than Daniel Ricꦫcardo,” Tost said.
“But somehow last year and this year he couldn’t show the pot🐲ential that is within him. He was involved in many incidents, but in his defence I also have to say that he had many reliability issues aꦜnd that didn’t help build up confidence.
“Being the victim of too many incidents 🍬killed the performance he would have been💮 able to show.
“Maybe a short break – to get organized again – and probably we will see Daniil back at his usual performance level w꧂ith an🤪other team.”
Asked what Kvyat’s key problem 🧸had been, Tost said the Russian was often “too aggressive” atꦉ the start of a race.
“The first corner was his weak point. He wanted too much in the first hu𝓀ndred metres – success by any means,” Tost said.
“That puts you under pres💝sure – unnecessary 💙pressure – and that never works.
“I hope for him that he gets another chance, as I tওhi🐷nk he deserves to be in F1.”
Kvyat i🌱s known to be in contention for an F1 seat with Williams for 2018, but is not the team’s first choice, with recent reports claiming compatriot Sergey Sirotkin is now leading the chase for the drive.
The 2013 GP3 champion is poised to test a Formula E car in Marrakesh next month, and recently appe⭕ared a🐷t a Euro NASCAR test in Italy.
