Red Bull Are Right to Replace Daniil Kvyat with Toro Rosso’s Max Verstappen

To Daniil Kvyat, delirious after claiming the second podium finish of his Formula One career in the Chinese Grand Prix, it was only an innocent question. Wiping his face as race winner Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel—who had salvaged second place following an opening-lap collision with Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen—stood to his left, the Red Bull driver attempted to pierce the testosterone-filled silence with a little chitchat ahead of the podium ceremony. “What happened at the start?” Kvyat chirped, as heard over the FOM television feed. “You! Asking what happened... 

F1’s Latest Rumours, Talk: Max Verstappen to Red Bull, Kimi Raikkonen and More

Max Verstappen’s rapid rise through the ranks of Formula One continued on Thursday morning when the teenager was promoted to Red Bull Racing. Little more than a year after making his grand prix debut at the age of 17, Verstappen will represent the four-time world champions from next weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix after Red Bull decided to punish Daniil Kvyat for his Russian GP crimes by sending the 22-year-old back to Scuderia Toro Rosso. Verstappen’s graduation to Red Bull is likely to be good news for Kimi Raikkonen, who has already seen off one of the prime candidates for his... 

Red Bull Replace Daniil Kvyat with Max Verstappen Ahead of Spanish F1 Grand Prix

Red Bull have confirmed that Daniil Kvyat has been dropped to Toro Rosso and will be replaced by Max Verstappen ahead of May 15’s Formula One Spanish Grand Prix. The decision comes following Russian Kvyat’s calamitous performance at his home Grand Prix on Sunday, during which he crashed into Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel twice in two corners, and team principal Christian Horner explained the decision to promote Verstappen from Toro Rosso, per Red Bull Racing: Max has proven to be an outstanding young talent. His performance at Toro Rosso has been... 

Why Would Mercedes Have a Conspiracy to Sabotage Lewis Hamilton?

Lewis Hamilton suffered engine problems in last Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix, the second race in a row where a defective energy recovery system (followed by a water-pressure issue in Russia) cost him a chance at victory. Cars break down all the time in Formula One. They are on the very limit of performance, driving at more than 300 km/h, braking heavily several times per lap and changing gears thousands of times in a two-hour race. Usually, when a driver retires due to a mechanical failure, it is acknowledged as bad luck. But something weird happened after Hamilton’s problem in Russia... 

5 of the Most Interesting Radio Messages from 2016 Russian Grand Prix

Only four races of the 2016 Formula One season have been completed, but Sebastian Vettel’s title hopes are already hanging by a thread after the four-time world champion suffered a second retirement in the Russian Grand Prix. Having started the season with a podium in Australia, Vettel failed to even start the Bahrain GP following an engine blowout on the formation lap before recovering from a first-lap collision to salvage second place in China. But there was no fightback at the Sochi Autodrom, where the German was hit twice in quick succession by Red Bull’s Daniil Kvyat, whose demolition... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours, Talk: Daniil Kvyat, Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, More

Following the elation of claiming his second Formula One podium finish in China, Daniil Kvyat could have done with a shoulder to cry on in the aftermath of Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix. In front of his home crowd sitting in a grandstand that bears his name, the 22-year-old suffered a first-lap meltdown at the Sochi Autodrom, where he sparked two separate collisions in the space of two corners, ruining the afternoons of Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel in the process. But he has received little sympathy from his own team as both Christian Horner and Dr.... 

Russian Grand Prix 2016: Winners and Losers from Sochi Race

Nico Rosberg claimed his fourth consecutive victory of the 2016 Formula One season in Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix at the Sochi Autodrom. With Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton again hindered by an engine problem in qualifying and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel suffering a five-place grid penalty due to a gearbox change, Rosberg started from pole position for the second race in succession and led comfortably from the front. In his latest damage-limitation exercise, Hamilton recovered well to finish second, but the same cannot be said of Vettel, who collided with Red Bull’s Daniil Kvyat... 

Daniil Kvyat’s Reaction to Sebastian Vettel Incidents Shows Admirable Character

Daniil Kvyat got an earful from Sebastian Vettel at the end of last month’s Chinese Grand Prix. The young Russian dove up the inside of Vettel’s Ferrari at the first corner, spooking the four-time champion and causing him to swerve into his team-mate’s car. Kvyat stood his ground both on the race track, helping him claim Red Bull’s first podium in seven months, and in the podium ceremony green room, when Vettel accused him of coming at him “like a torpedo,” according to Reuters. Kvyat was right and showed his mental strength in refusing to be cowed by Vettel.... 

Russian F1 Grand Prix 2016 Results: Winner, Standings, Highlights and Reaction

It’s four wins from four races for Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg in the 2016 Formula One season, as he romped to victory at the Russian Grand Prix on Sunday.  The German was superb throughout, as he preserved a comfortable lead to the chasing pack after an eventful start. Team-mate Lewis Hamilton recovered from 10th to finish in second place, while Kimi Raikkonen was third for Ferrari. The result in Sochi leaves Rosberg a whopping 42 points clear at the top of the standings. Sebastian Vettel endured a day to forget in his Ferrari, as he was forced to retire on the first lap following... 

Nico Rosberg Benefits from More Good Luck in 2016 Russian Grand Prix Qualifying

In the end, it didn’t matter in the slightest. With a cloud of white smoke and that familiar sound of a squealing, overloaded front tyre, Nico Rosberg was off the track, running wide under braking for the tricky right-hander we know and love as Turn 13 of the Russian Grand Prix circuit. At any other time in any other year, such an error in the final three minutes of a Formula One qualifying session would have almost certainly cost him dearly, inviting his closest competitors to shove him down the order. But in the opening weeks of 2016? A season in which his rivals have all fallen before...
