The 2016 Formula 1 season has been a tumultuous one for Daniil Kvyat as Red Bull demoted him from the senior team to Toro Rosso and since then things have not got much better for the Russian who nevertheless remains devoted to the energy drinks outfit.
Speaking to media at Monza, Kvyat said, “Everything what has to be done from my side has been done. I dedicate myself 100% to Toro Rosso and Red Bull even with all the events, I’m still loyal enough. Of course I have, let’s say, grown a third eye!”
There was much speculation during the summer break that Kvyat may not even see out the rest of this season, but this rumour was nipped in the bud by Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko.
However it is unlikely that Kvyat will be with the team beyond 2016, a fact he is starting to accept.
“Obviously it’s not like it’s all completely 100% clear, but we just had two races where we knew we would not have any chance and now there are races ahead where we will have a chance and we will see how we will get on."
"I will have more information I think after that, but otherwise I am just enjoying my job, I’m enjoying what I’m doing and I love what I’m doing, so life is f*cking great."
“There are many options and so on, blah blah blah, with a contract and stuff. Let’s just wait and see. Like I said I’m living day-by-day, when the time will come we will talk about everything behind closed doors.”
