As harsh as it seems, Red Bull Racing's timing and reasons for promoting Max Verstappen are spot on... and it could prove beneficial for Daniil Kvyat too.
Red Bull Racing announces it is promoting Max Verstappen to its team from Toro Rosso with immediate effect from the Spanish GP, replacing Daniil Kvyat.
Daniil Kvyat acknowledges that he is in for a rough ride following the double contact with Sebastian Vettel that forced the Ferrari driver out of the Russian F1 Grand Prix.
The Hungarian Grand Prix's lack of overtaking opportunities might not have deterred Daniel Ricciardo, but the Australian's F1 team-mate is not a fan of the host circuit.
